The 2024 GMC Sierra EV blends carryover tech from the Chevrolet Silverado EV with unique styling and a more luxurious interior.
The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks are twins, and that will continue to be the case when they go electric.
Design The Sierra EV updates the design language of the internal-combustion GMC Sierra for the electric age. A big grille is no longer needed for cooling, but it’s still an important styling element that designers didn’t want to break away from, Sharon Gauci, GMC executive director of global design, explained to Digital Trends and other media in an online briefing ahead of the truck’s reveal. The grille shape is now outlined in lights, with an illuminated GMC logo.
Because it’s pitched as a premium vehicle, the Sierra EV gets upscale interior materials like open-pore wood trim and stainless steel speaker grilles for its Bose audio system. But the design itself, with a freestanding portrait touchscreen and rectangular instrument cluster, looks suspiciously similar to the Ford Mustang Mach-E cabin. The touchscreen even has the same big volume knob as the Ford. We hope GMC’s lawyers are ready.
An adaptive air suspension system is on the menu as well, with an auto-leveling feature that can raise or lower the truck by up to 2.0 inches. Like other GM EVs, regenerative braking is controlled by a steering-wheel paddle, with true one-pedal driving capability. GMC didn’t disclose the size of the battery pack, but said the Sierra EV will offer up to 400 miles of range. It’s worth noting that these acceleration and range figures match the Silverado EV. Maximum towing capacity is a bit lower at 9,500 pounds, compared to 10,000 pounds for the Chevy. Both trucks have an identical maximum payload rating of 1,300 pounds.
