2026 GMC Sierra EV: Elevation & AT4 Trims Expand Electric Truck Lineup

GMC’s electrification strategy takes a bold leap forward with the expanded 2026 Sierra EV lineup. Following its debut as a 2024 model and an exclusive Denali release for 2025, the Sierra EV now welcomes two new variants: the value-focused Elevation and the rugged AT4. Alongside these additions, GMC introduces a more affordable Standard Range battery option, slashing the base price by $27,500 compared to earlier models. This strategic expansion positions the Sierra EV as a formidable competitor in the rapidly growing electric pickup segment.
