The 2026 GMC Sierra EV delivers exceptional power with a standard dual-motor e4WD system producing 605 horsepower-best-in-class for electric pickups. That robust power ensures strong towing and hauling capability, so you get true truck performance in an all-electric package.

The Sierra EV's horsepower advantage is backed by selectable drive modes, including Max Power Mode, that let you tailor performance for on-road and off-road adventures. Compared to competing electric trucks, the Sierra EV's 605 hp outpaces the 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning (462 hp) and 2026 Rivian R1T (533 hp).
