The 2026 GMC Sierra EV delivers 605 horsepower as standard-best-in-class power for an electric pickup. Its dual-motor e4WD system is engineered for robust towing and hauling capability, plus responsive everyday driving.

In head-to-head comparison, the Sierra EV outpowers both the 2026 Ford F-150 Lightning (462 hp) and 2026 Rivian R1T (533 hp), giving you more acceleration and capability. Add selectable drive modes like Max Power Mode, and the Sierra EV adapts seamlessly from on-road confidence to off-road adventure.
