GMC drops the price of the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 to $99,495 while increasing its range to 440 miles

The GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 will arrive this summer with a base price of $99,495.
The model is now expected to have a range of 440 miles, an increase of 10%.
Payload and towing capacities have also increased, with the latter now reaching 10,000 lbs.
After a brief delay, GMC is set to launch the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 this summer. It seems worth waiting for the company to increase its product range while reducing its prices.

Starting with pricing, the model was initially planned to start at $107,000. That's no longer the case, as the truck has a "final MSRP" of $99,495, including the $1,995 destination charge. That's a savings of $7,505, but it's worth noting that the Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum starts at $87,090, while the Chevrolet Silverado EV RST First Edition starts at $94,500.

The other big change is a 10 percent increase in range, with the truck now expected to travel up to 440 miles (708 km) on a single charge. That's not the only number that's increased, as the model is now planned to have a maximum payload capacity of 1,450 lbs (658 kg) and a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 lbs (4,536 kg).

Thanks to the changes, customers will have a more affordable pickup with improved capabilities. It's a winning combination, and the truck comes nicely equipped with 24-inch wheels, a front brake, and a MultiPro Tailgate. But the real hit is the MultiPro MidGate, which allows owners to extend the 5' 11" bed into the cabin. This allows the Sierra EV to haul items nearly 11 ft. long.

The cabin is luxurious and high-tech as it features an 11-inch digital instrument cluster as well as a 16.8-inch infotainment system with portrait orientation. They combine with a panoramic glass roof, Bose sound system and elegant wood trim.

Motivation comes from the dual-motor all-wheel drive system that produces an estimated 754 hp (562 kW / 764 PS) and 785 lb-ft (1,063 Nm) of torque in Maximum Power mode. This should enable the truck to rocket from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in less than 4.5 seconds. Speaking of fast, the 350 kW DC fast charging capability can deliver nearly 100 miles (161 km) of range in as little as 10 minutes.

Other highlights include 4-Wheel Steering, CrabWalk and air ride adaptive suspension. The latter allows the truck to be raised or lowered by approximately 2 inches (51 mm).
