A look into your current car’s review mirror quickly tells you a GMC Sierra is behind you. What a commanding view. It’s not just a facade. The 2026 Sierra EV Extended range is a knockout.
The 2026 GMC Sierra EV marks a major step for GMC, blending genuine truck capability with modern electric-vehicle tech. Built on GM’s Ultium platform, the Sierra EV offers dual-motor AWD, with power ranging from a strong 605 hp up to 760 hp and torque as high as 785 lb-ft, giving it brisk acceleration for such a large vehicle and plenty of muscle for towing or hauling.
Range and charging are class-competitive: depending on battery choice and trim, EPA-estimated range spans roughly 283 miles at the low end to about 460-478 miles with the Max Range battery on AT4 and Denali trims. Rapid 800V DC fast-charging can add roughly 100 miles in about 10 minutes, ideal for longer trips.
The Sierra EV lineup now includes Elevation, AT4, and Denali trims, broadening choices from affordable work-oriented models to luxury-styled versions. The Elevation is a solid value with essential tech and range, AT4 gives serious off-road hardware (like four-wheel steer and Terrain Mode), and Denali brings premium comfort and finishes.
Inside, the truck impresses with a 16.8-inch touchscreen featuring Google built-in, a configurable digital cluster, and clever storage like the eTrunk front cargo space. Available high-end touches (Bose audio, panoramic roof on Denali) elevate comfort significantly over basic pickups.
Utility remains a centerpiece: the MultiPro MidGate expands bed space dramatically, trailer tech like Super Cruise with trailer support helps on long hauls, and towing maxes near 12,500 lbs, matching many gas trucks.
Real-world impressions are generally positive about power and capability, though some owners note screen brightness, ride comfort, and early software bugs can detract from the experience — typical of a newly launched EV truck.
Overall, the 2026 Sierra EV delivers electric performance with purposeful truck capability, competitive range, and flexible trim options — positioning it as a strong rival to other EV pickups while still evolving as a first-generation model.
The GMC Sierra gets 4.5 Lambos. Our sticker of this Extended Range model topped 80 grand. The range is almost 400 miles for this pickup.
