The 2026 GMC Sierra EV delivers 760 horsepower and 785 lb-ft of torque from its dual-motor system-more power than the 2025 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum (580 hp, 775 lb-ft) and the 2025 Rivian R1T Adventure (600 hp, 600 lb-ft). This commanding output enables exhilarating acceleration and confident towing up to 9,500 pounds. The Sierra EV combines this muscle with premium Denali-level luxury, sophisticated design, and cutting-edge technology like Super Cruise hands-free driving and a massive 16.8-inch touchscreen.
