The all-electric GMC Sierra EV got its big debut in October of the 2022 calendar year, later launching for the 2024 model year. Critically, the upcoming 2025 GMC Sierra EV will bring with it a number of important updates and changes. Now, General Motors has announced several details concerning the upcoming 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali.
Per GM, the 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali will be available in multiple configurations, including an Extended Range variant with 390 miles of range, as well as a Max Range variant with 460 miles of range:

There’s also the MultiPro MidGate, which expands the rear cargo area to accommodate items nearly 11 feet in length without sacrificing the entire rear seat. Finally, the GMC Sierra EV Denali rides on Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, which can raise and lower the truck by roughly two inches.
The 2025 Sierra EV will be available in six different exterior colors, including:
- Summit White
- Thunderstorm Gray
- Onyx Black
- Dark Ember Tintcoat
- Deep Ocean Metallic
- Moonlight Matte

Both of these prices include $2,095 for the vehicle destination freight charge, which is an increase of $100 compared to the 2024-model-year destination freight charge ($1,995).

Comments
Like the Optiq, who the hell wants this either? GM, just admit you blew it with EVs and move on already.
1000s want it and it’s a great vehicle.
I got the 2024 Sierra EV and it’s a perfect fit for my needs. Speak for yourself, Beachy.
Is GM following other automakers and offering the same engine but one must pay more to get more horsepower? Is there any monthly subscription to keep “Edition 1’s” horsepower at Edition 1’s advertised level?
So far, no. The subscription services have been limited to convenience and connectivity (OnStar, Super Cruise, navigation) but who knows what they’re going to do with future models.
They did have the high output turbo engine one the midsize trucks in two different states of tune, requiring a flash at the dealer to go from lower to higher, but that only lasted for MY2023. MY2024 got rid of the mid tune, the lower and higher ones having a few differences in components. For MY2025 they got rid of the low output engine as well.
The lower hp of the “Extended” (or rather Shrunk) range version is probably because smaller battery = less power, no? Also this peak hp number doesn’t matter much, it’s only available in the Max Power mode which is way to aggressive to drive imo. Difficult to control the vehicle when accelerating at this mode.
I’ve seen one Denali EV at a local GMC dealership that has been sitting there for 3 weeks now. Their Hummer EV SUV has been sitting there for 2 months. Doesn’t seem to be a lot of demand for them. I’ve seen more Cybertrucks than I have seen Hummers.
What normal person is going to buy a $100000 pickup? That doesn’t get mileage, that is believable, and this goes for Tesla to any electric vehicle. People have mileage fever when they know they can’t go what they say. Nobody’s buying this $hit.gas is here to stay
