The 2026 GMC Sierra EV has become significantly more affordable, with the Elevation trim starting at $64,495—$27,795 less than the 2025 Denali edition. This price adjustment positions the Sierra EV competitively in the premium truck market. New lease deals further enhance affordability, with the base Sierra EV 4WD Elevation available for $559 per month, compared to $949 for the 2025 model. The offer includes a 36-month lease with $5,599 due at signing and is valid until June 30, 2025.

GMC's pricing strategy aligns with broader market trends, as the Sierra EV now qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit, provided the credit remains available. Additional incentives include 2.9% APR financing for 72 months and a $3,000 purchase allowance, making the electric pickup more accessible to a wider audience.

The 2026 Sierra EV is available in three battery configurations: Standard, Extended, and Max Range, offering up to 478 miles of driving range. The base Elevation trim delivers 605 horsepower and a best-in-class towing capacity of 12,300 lbs. Advanced features like GMC's MultiPro Tailgate and a 16.8-inch infotainment system with Google built-in enhance functionality. The AT4 and Denali trims include GM's Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance system as standard.

The AT4 model adds off-road capabilities with 2 inches of ground clearance, a lifted coil suspension, and 35-inch all-terrain tires. Its Terrain Mode optimizes torque and control for challenging conditions. With DC fast charging at 350 kW, the Sierra EV can regain 100 miles of range in approximately 10 minutes.

This pricing shift reflects GM's commitment to accelerating EV adoption while maintaining the Sierra's reputation for capability and innovation. The move also intensifies competition in the electric pickup segment, where affordability remains a key barrier for many consumers.
