GMC has quietly unveiled the highly anticipated 2025 Sierra EV Denali, the next-generation electric pickup that builds upon the success of the 2024 Edition 1. The 2025 Sierra EV Denali comes with an impressive 440 miles of range on a single charge and a more affordable starting price of $89,900, nearly $10,000 less than its predecessor.
The 2025 Sierra EV Denali maintains most of the premier features found in the 2024 Edition 1, including the 800-volt DC fast charging architecture that allows it to juice up with an incredible 350 kW of power. This allows the Sierra EV Denali to recharge over 100 miles in under 10 minutes at a suitable quick charger.
Cutting-Edge Features Come Standard
As anticipated with any Sierra EV Denali, the 2025 model comes equipped with a host of remarkable features. Max towing capacity goes up to 10,500 pounds, and additional features such as 4-wheel steering with GMC ‘crab walk,’ and an Air Ride adaptive suspension that enhances the comfort of this electric truck on and off the roads.
The 2025 Sierra EV Denali also includes a stunning panoramic glass roof, adding to its premium appeal. GMC’s MultiPro Midgate gives the possibility of the different volume of cargo storage, and V2H (Vehicle-to-Home) feature let charge a properly outfitted home to last up to 21 days at reduced power consumption.
OnStar Super Cruise for Hands-Free Driving
GMC equips the 2025 Sierra EV Denali with 3 years of complimentary OnStar Super Cruise, the company’s advanced driver-assistance system. Known as the ‘the largest hands-free driving network,’ Super Cruise can currently be used on more than 400,000 miles of compatible roads in the United States.
A Compelling Electric Truck Option
With the 2025 Sierra EV Denali, GMC has positioned itself as a strong contender in the growing electric pickup market. Due to its long range, fast charging and other luxurious facilities, the truck will be most appropriate for those intending to buy a high end electric pick up truck.
Compared to the Tesla Cybertruck, the 2025 Sierra EV Denali offers over 100 miles of additional range without compromising bed space for a range extender. Furthermore, Sierra EV Denali output begins at $112,495, which is $26,806 lower than the average transaction price for a new Cybertruck.
Ultium Platform Powers the Sierra EV Denali
The 2025 Sierra EV Denali is built upon GM’s advanced Ultium battery platform, which underpins a growing lineup of electric vehicles across the company’s brands. By adopting module architecture the Ultium platform can be manufactured at high volumes and can be tuned for specific vehicle applications in terms of battery capacity.
In the case of the 2025 Sierra EV Denali, the Ultium battery pack provides an impressive energy density, enabling the truck to achieve its 440-mile range without sacrificing payload or towing capabilities. Its thermal control technology helps it maintain the batteries at the optimal condition during the most strenuous activity.
Denali Luxury Meets Electric Performance
The 2025 Sierra EV Denali continues the nameplate’s tradition of offering premium amenities and craftsmanship. The inside is luxurious with stunning materials used and a great, modern infotainment system and a very comfortable cabin fit for work and play.
The electric powertrain of the truck provides a lot of torque, and the smoothness and near silence of the electrified machine makes the driving experience a quantum leap forward. Sierra EV Denali has improved in regenerative braking system as it is able to save energy while at the same time giving the driver a more mechanical and smart feel.
Quietly Launching the Next-Gen Sierra EV
Interestingly, GMC has chosen to keep the launch of the 2025 Sierra EV Denali relatively low-key, with no mention of the vehicle on the company’s news site at the time of writing. One possible reason is to drop the first book as a low profile introduction to test local demand and potential market before launching subsequent editions on a larger scale.
As the electric vehicle market continues to grow and evolve, the 2025 Sierra EV Denali represents GMC’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, zero-emission vehicles that cater to the needs and preferences of modern truck buyers. With its impressive range, fast charging capabilities, and luxurious features, the 2025 Sierra EV Denali is poised to make a significant impact in the electric truck segment.
The launch of the 2025 Sierra EV Denali marks an important milestone for GMC and the wider automotive industry, as manufacturers continue to shift towards electrification. As more consumers transit to electric vehicles, the Sierra EV Denali stands as a solution to those who would wish to drill into luxury electric trucks.
