“Sierra Denali holds tremendous equity for GMC and our customers,” Aldred said in a statement. “We now have an opportunity to evolve Sierra’s capabilities and technologies, as afforded by transitioning to an all-electric propulsion while also elevating the luxurious design and comfort associated with Denali.”
The Sierra and Silverado EVs will face competition from electric pickups such as the Ford F-150 Lightning, Rivian R1T and Tesla Cybertruck.
GM did not provide specs or range details for the Sierra, but the similarly sized Silverado EV is expected to have more than 400 miles of range on a full charge.
