The Upcoming GMC Sierra EV Denali

GMC has already released the Hummer EV pickup, but they are about to unleash another electric truck: the 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali. This is a futuristic vehicle that has all the perks you could want. Let’s take a look at what you can expect from this upcoming electric addition to the GMC truck lineup, which is expected to release in the Spring of 2024 and production is slated to begin late 2023.

What’s New in 2024?

The GMC Sierra EV is going to be a completely new vehicle for 2024. Initially, it will only be offered in one trim: the Denali Edition 1. So, you can expect a fully loaded vehicle with tons of equipment and an impressive drivetrain (two electric motors). In 2025, it is expected for GMC to release additional trim levels.

Pricing of the 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali

As you are likely familiar, the Denali edition of GMC vehicles is more luxurious. As a result, they cost more. You can expect the same from the 2024 Sierra EV Denali, which is going to be priced at around $108,000. GMC says that the flower trim levels that will come out the following year will start around $50,000.

Power and Performance

The 2024 Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 will have a powerful electric drivetrain standard. It will have both front and rear motors, enabling all-wheel drive on the truck. It will produce over 750 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque. GMC claims that this electric truck can reach 60 mph in only 4.5 seconds.

It will also come equipped with an air suspension that can either lower or raise the truck. The crab walk feature that the Hummer EV has will also be available, which will allow the truck to move diagonally. Multiple drive modes will be included, as well as a one-pedal driving option.

The Sierra EV Denali is said to have a towing capacity of 9,500 pounds. At this time, it is unclear whether additional options on the truck will be required in order to reach this maximum capacity.

Electric Motor Details

GMC states that the 2024 Sierra EV Denali will be able to drive 400 miles on just one charge. This is largely due to the considerable battery pack that is included, although GMC has yet to release the exact sizing of it. The truck will come with the capability of fast charging, enabling the Sierra EV to take up to 350 kilowatts. GMC reports that a charging station of this level will add roughly 100 miles to your driving range in a mere 10 minutes.

It is expected for the lower trim levels to have smaller battery packs, which means they likely won’t have as large of a driving range as the initial Denali version.

Technology and Safety Highlights

The infotainment system that comes standard on the 2024 Sierra EV Denali is an impressive 16.8inch touchscreen with an abundance of connectivity options, which is likely to include Android Auto and Apple CarPlay functionalities. An 11-inch digital gauge cluster is also on the truck, as well as a wireless smartphone charging pad.

There hasn’t been a lot of information released about the safety and driver-assistance features of the Sierra EV Denali. However, it is expected for the electric pickup truck to come with the Super Cruise hands-free driving system. This driving system allows your hands to be removed from the wheel in certain situations (like when you’re on a highway that’s mapped) and controls all acceleration and braking actions. Just make sure to keep your eyes on the road when this function is used.

Some of the main safety features that are likely to be included on the 2024 Sierra EV includes lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and hands-free driving mode.

Design and Interior

The GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 will be available in a crew cab with a six-foot bed. A mid-gate function will be available as well, which expands the truck bed into the cabin of the truck so that the larger items can be transported more efficiently. The Denali version is equipped with high-quality materials, including leather and open-pore wood, which is to be expected with a premium vehicle like this.
