2026 GMC EV has arrived, and it’s making waves in the electric truck world. GMC recently expanded its lineup with fresh trims and updates that bring more choices for drivers who want power, tech, and everyday usability without gas. This isn’t just a minor refresh—it’s a full reveal of new options like the Elevation and AT4 trims, alongside the top-tier Denali.
Impressive Performance Specs
Under the hood—or rather, where the engine used to be—this truck packs serious punch. The base models offer around 605 horsepower, but step up to the higher trims, and you can hit up to 760 hp in Max Power mode. Torque reaches 785 lb-ft, which means quick acceleration. Many versions hit 0-60 mph in under 4.5 seconds, even when loaded.
Towing capacity stands strong at up to 12,500 pounds, and payload is solid too. The truck handles like a premium vehicle, with adaptive air suspension on some models for better ride quality. Off-road fans will love the new AT4 trim, which adds lifted suspension, 35-inch all-terrain tires, extra ground clearance, and features like CrabWalk (from the Hummer EV) that lets it move sideways in tight spots.
High-Tech Features and Smart Technology
Inside, the Sierra EV feels modern and connected. The standout is the massive 16.8-inch diagonal premium infotainment screen with Google built-in. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus voice commands and over-the-air updates. The system runs smoothly, showing navigation, media, and vehicle stats clearly.
Super Cruise hands-free driving is available on many trims. It works on compatible highways, letting you take your hands off the wheel for long stretches while the truck steers, accelerates, and brakes. Safety tech includes automatic emergency braking, blind-zone steering assist, HD surround vision, and rear cross-traffic alerts.
Why It Matters
GMC designed the 2026 Sierra EV to appeal to different buyers. The new Elevation trim starts around $64,995, making it more affordable than before. It’s practical for work or family use. The AT4 brings adventure-ready style, while Denali keeps the luxury focus with extras like illuminated badging.
