Officially unveiled all the way back in October 2022, the 2024 GMC Sierra EV is set to direct the future of Big Red’s, as well as General Motors’, all-electric lineup. Now, GM Authority spy photographers have captured a nearly production-ready example of the upcoming 2024 Sierra EV Denali, and today, we’re taking a closer look in the following GM Authority Live Photo Gallery.
This particular Sierra EV is finished in the range-topping Denali trim level, and seemingly features the Edition 1 package. Painted in White Frost Tricoat (color code G1W), this unit appears to be almost production ready, missing just a few trim pieces.
Up front, the LED headlight assemblies appear to be production-spec. However, the frunk assembly is unpainted – and missing any appropriate badging – clearly indicating that this unit is a prototype. In addition, the lower front fascia is also unpainted and missing some trim pieces.
Moving around to the side, most of the side profile aligns with GM’s official rendered photos we’ve seen thus far, which includes body-colored door handles and side mirrors. However, this particular unit is missing the lower-body trim pieces that surround the assist steps. That being said, this Sierra EV does feature massive 24-inch wheels, which will be the largest fitted to a production vehicle yet.
Out back, we see the GMC MultiPro tailgate, which isn’t adorned in any sort of badging. Production-spec taillights are mounted on either side, while the rear bumper is unpainted.
As a reminder, the 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 will be the first Sierra EV variant to launch, and is currently scheduled for early 2024. This will be later followed by the 2025 Sierra EV AT4 and 2025 Sierra EV Elevation trims.
In regard to powertrain specifications, the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 model develops a maximum of 754 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque thanks to GM Ultium battery and GM Ultium Drive motor technology.
Under the skin, the GMC Sierra EV rides on the GM BT1 platform, which it shares with the Chevy Silverado EV, GMC Hummer EV Pickup and GMC Hummer EV SUV.
Production of the 2024 GMC Sierra EV will initially take place at the GM Factory Zero plant in Michigan, while future Sierra EV models will also be produced at the GM Lake Orion plant in Michigan.

Easily the best looking EV truck. Can’t wait to spec a Elevation version.
Are we calling the GMC an Avalanche too or are we sticking with Sierra EV?
90 miles of range when towing.
More like just over 200, with the truck having 400 miles of range. Plenty doable for road-trips.
Where did you come up with this number? What type of trailer, and weight? Everything I’ve seen from every other electric truck; any sort of towing a trailer absolutely decimates the range.
Ford Lightning drops from 400 to around 90 per charge. I would imagine GM trucks would act similarly.
Ford doesn’t offer a 400 mile range F150. Either 230 miles or around 300. Considering you can’t quote an accurate standard range, no reason to trust your towing range.
Nice looking truck.
The dislikes on your comment are hilarious. These people are actually upset that GM has designed the best looking trucks yet again but now in the EV space. GM’s Ultium products have been making appearances testing in production form and they look exactly like their concepts that were revealed to us. From the GMC Hummer to the Cadillac Celestiq.
Realize how the Cadillac Celestiq’s interior design just made it’s way into a Ford – the Lincoln Nautilus. Lol. Ford clearly didn’t have a new direction to take the Lincoln brand until they saw the new Cadillacs because the Nautilus’ interior is the farthest departure from current Lincoln interiors and it looks of an entirely different brand because it is. The system in the new Nautilus is so new for Ford that they don’t even have a name for it yet, i wonder why. Because they went chasing Cadillac and rushed it to market.
Perhaps something completely outside of what they were going to initially do but couldn’t beat the Cadillac designs so decided to join them. Ford and Stellantis are lost without GM to benchmark.
People are very defensive about what they have and aggressively anti-EV. They don’t understand it’s a choice that they don’t need to make but others want it. It’s kind of the culture of the country right now. Not sure if it’s a failing education system, bad parenting or what. It is shocking to see how narrow minded and frankly ignorant a high percentage of adults are.
It looks like a work truck with donk wheels.
Looks great from the front but rather conventional after that.
Nice in the front but “conventional” everywhere else?? Lol. Have you seen the ICE rebadged jobs of the Ford Lightning and RAM electric trucks? Theirs production model designs are down right boring compared to the GM trucks yet you come here to call the Sierra EV conventional. Isn’t that the same reason y’all claim to prefer inferior trucks from Ford and Stellantis – because their design team phoned it in and gave y’all battery powered versions of the current half-ton ICE trucks which y’all could just buy for less than their converted EV/hybrids.
I’m not sure you can call it a truck with the unitized cab and bed. El Camino HD?
I’m pretty sure you’re a TROLL. Y’all loved it when stellantis revealed that bogus concept though. Now that you know it ain’t happening it’s suddenly not the way to go. Y’all are clowns, and hating hard on GM right now. Maybe even trying a little too hard to hate on GM.
I have no idea what you are talking about, I do not follow Chrysler (Stellantis), I would never drive one. I am not a troll, just a singular GM fan, not sure why you refer to me as (y’all) which is plural (you all). Regarding the Sierra EV, it is hardly an innovative body design, it is a resurrected Avalanche body design. Phoned it in?
No need for separation between cab and bed with independent suspension at all four wheels.
I didn’t mention anything about no body cab separation being problem. But Ford tried it on F-100 and F-250 pickups in the early 60’s and they had to abandon it because the bodies flexed enough that the doors wouldn’t open and close when loaded. I don’t recall any similar issues with the Avalanche so I suppose GM strengthened it enough.
Yeah, this is not Ford. Also, what was the point in bringing up the failed Ford attempt when there’s no direct correlation? This is exactly what I mean. You used Ford’s fail as a talking point or a reason for why it’ll be a failure here in GM’s Ultium application. You, like many geniuses, are trying to connect dots that do not connect for the sake of making a point.
Your real issue with the unibody design is not the structural integrity or lack of capability to withstand payloads. You know it, and I know it. But we also know that you, and likeminded individuals, will continue to blurt out reasons why this design just will not work for a pickup and push the issue it should’ve been called something else. Must be the new “American way”.
Again, what’s so “innovative” about the RAM REV or Ford Lightning’s body designs?? I’d LOVE to hear it! Lol. I’m not sure how one vehicle in the class has a requirement that the others aren’t required to meet. Can you make sense of this “logic” or lack thereof?
The plural context and “y’all” is obviously because there are several of you with the same illogical critiques for the GM trucks – and GM ONLY. To be a GM “fan” you sure sound as confused and disconnected as a Ford fanboy, at least when it pertains to General Motors and their new line of products. You think your personal preference is what defines a truck? Well these manufacturers have been the ones building them for decades, i think you/y’all should allow the expert(s) at this thing to define what a real TRUCK is. Take your feelings elsewhere, leave them out of it. And when the competition can actually compete in the real world and not with ideas on a concept, then maybe you’ll have a winning point within the “GM trucks aren’t innovative” argument.
I would never buy Electric unless you could drive at least 800 miles on a charge.
Nobody realizes how much and how long it takes to make 1 battery.
Allot of pollution to make 1 battery.
Lol. This is so cute. Why does it matter how long it takes to make a battery? Is GM asking for your help in the manufacturing process?? I mean y’all anti-EV trolls are getting pretty creative in your desperation to convince everyone that EVs are evil.
How long does it take to build a ICE 3500 pickup? How much pollution comes from a HD 2500 diesel? Have you completed these studies as well?? Something tells me you became environmentally conscious as soon as you found out EVs need resources in order to be built – just like ICE vehicles. How many raw materials must we mine or extract from the earth to build a ICE 3500 or keep it running properly?? Something tells me you also do not know the answer to this. You hate EVs, correct? Then why are you here under this particular article?
Keep burning oil, because that’s such a great idea. Any idea how much energy goes into making a gallon of gasoline? An extra 5 kwh’s of energy goes into each gallon of crude oil to get 33 kwh’s of energy out as refined gasoline. Then your ICE vehicle uses 20% of that to move down the road. Any idea how much pollution that makes?
Meanwhile some of us will reserve trunks that are 400% more energy efficient and can be charged with a home solar system.
All I’m seeing is a rehashed Avalanche with a cheap black plastic blank front end. Not remotely impressed!
I bet you’re impressed by all the plastics on the Ford Lightning though and that rebadged job, and the RAM concept truck must’ve impressed you too. Then you saw the electric RAM’s reveal and I’m sure you were kanocked off of your feet because the production model electric RAM was so impressive. I love how they were able to execute the production model’s design so closely and accurately to the concept, like GM has been able to do with their latest line of EV trucks. Stellantis seems to be a real competitor here for GM and Tesla for sure.
Guess again. I’m not impressed by Ford or Ram’s electrics either and can’t stand overpriced underwhelming pickup trucks with cheap black plastic slathered all over the exterior!
It doesn’t matter what you are impressed by. You also don’t sound like the target buyer for a Silverado or Sierra EV either, so I’m not sure that anyone cares to impress you in that regard. Just because you aren’t impressed by something doesn’t mean it isn’t class leading or superior to it’s competition.
There are so many other things about this truck to be “impressed by” not sure why black plastic, the same crap found in and around ICE pickup trucks is the only thing that stuck out to you here. Sounds like a HATER to me.
All I am seeing is another short sighted hater. Meh…
The only concern I have will be their ability to scale this 9000 lb beast. The nearly identical HUMMER EV began production November 2021 and has sold a grand total of 783 as of Q1 2023 despite a long waiting list.
This will not weigh 9000 lbs. The Hummer has rock sliders and under-body armor.
Exactly, at least be more realistic about this.
8750 lbs.
That thing is ugly!
Looks good !!
That front plastic grill (fake grill ) needs to be with some good material , i see some of the ford lightnings have already broke that ( i assume rock chip hit ) ..
They place the radar also behind those which brings cost of replacement very high..
