GMC rounds out Sierra EV trim lineup for 2026 with off-road, entry versions
GMC is adding entry-level and off-road versions of the electric Sierra full-size pickup for the 2026 model year, rounding out a lineup that launched first at the top end.
The Sierra EV will come with the AT4 off-road variant and the base Elevation trim level, in addition to the high-end Denali, GMC said March 27. The Sierra EV also will have three different battery choices with varying ranges at multiple price points.
The pickup, built at General Motors' Factory Zero electric vehicle assembly plant in Detroit, will start at $64,495 for the base Elevation with Standard Range and rise to $100,695 for the Denali with Max Range, including shipping. The Sierra EV launched for the 2024 model year with a fully loaded Denali Edition 1 variant that started at $99,495.
'With these additional trims and customer options, the Sierra EV is positioned right in the heart of the premium truck market,' Jaclyn McQuaid, global vice president of Buick-GMC, said in a statement.

GMC said it will share range estimates for the battery options — Standard Range, Extended Range and Max Range — closer to when the pickups start to reach dealerships this summer.
Standard Range and Extended Range will be sold on the Elevation trim level, while the AT4 will be offered with either Extended Range or Max Range. All three ranges will be available on the Denali. Towing capacity ranges from 8,500 pounds with a Standard Range battery to 12,500 pounds with Extended Range on the Elevation and Denali trim levels, the brand said.
GMC said the AT4 variant will have a lifted coil suspension, 35-inch all-terrain tires, 2 inches of extra ground clearance and standard four-wheel steer with the brand's CrabWalk feature. Terrain Mode will give drivers extra maneuverability and control.
The base Elevation trim will feature the vehicle's 16.8-inch portrait-oriented infotainment touchscreen, along with GMC's MultiPro tailgate and 18-inch wheels. AT4 and Elevation buyers both will be able to add optional features.
The brand said it also enhanced the Denali trim level for 2026 with more exterior colors and two optional packages with additional content and features.
