2022 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 755 (HP)

Vehicle Overview

After the introduction of the Chevrolet Silverado EV, it was just a matter of time until GM launched the Sierra with an electric-powered version, and it did that in style in the Denali grade.

GM put a large amount of money into the Ultium electric platform that served as a base for the HUMMER EV and the Silverado, so it used it for more than one brand. Thus, after those two vehicles, it introduced the Sierra EV Denali as a luxury, all-electric pickup.

At first sight, it had already impressed with its LED-illuminated badge in the middle of the front fascia, which was covered by a wedged-shaped panel surrounded by the same kind of illumination. In the lower bumper, the automaker installed the main headlights and, below them, the fog lamps. Like the rest of the Sierra family, the LED C-shaped daytime running lights flanked the front fascia. From its profile, the 22” light-alloy wheels were specific for this vehicle. They were underlined by the piano-black cladding mounted on the wheel arches. Unlike most traditional pickups, the Sierra EV Denali, like its Silverado sibling, featured tilted-forward C-pillars at the back of the cabin. Its bed came in one size.

Inside, GMC confirmed the luxury-oriented Denali trim level. The Edition 1 version featured leather-wrapped seats and wood trims on the dashboard and door cards. In addition, the driver was spoiled with screens on the dashboard: an 11” one for the instrument cluster and a 16.8” one atop the center stack for the infotainment system. In the back, the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 featured a mid-gate opening system that connected the cabin to the bed.

Since it was based on the Ultium platform, the electric pickup was powered by two motors and fed by a large battery pack that offered it a 400-mile (644 km) range.
