The 2026 GMC Sierra EV delivers impressive performance with 605 horsepower from its standard dual-motor e4WD system. For range, you have flexibility: the standard battery offers solid daily capability, while extended and max-range batteries extend your reach up to 478 miles. That means fewer charging stops on longer trips.

Charging is quick too-DC Fast Charging can add up to 116 miles in about 10 minutes, perfect for a quick top-up. Selectable drive modes, including Max Power Mode, let you tailor performance for on-road or off-road adventures. The Sierra EV also includes GMC Energy Transfer Pro, offering up to 10.2 kW of off-boarding power for tools, camping gear, or charging another EV.
