Meet the 2024 GMC Sierra EV

 

2024 is poised to be an exciting model year for GMC vehicles. And one of the most exciting announcements has been the introduction of the first-ever Sierra EV. The new GMC Sierra EV promises to be a massive step toward the shared future of more efficient electric vehicles. While previous electric vehicles have sacrificed of performance, the Sierra EV falters to none of that!

On the contrary, the new GMC Sierra EV is designed to deliver output that surpasses that of most diesel or gasoline trucks today. As GMC continues to expand its stable of all-electric vehicles, the 2024 Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 is leading the charge. Let's take a closer look at what we know now about this ground-breaking truck and what you can expect. 

Introducing the Ultium EV Platform

The new GMC Sierra EV will be built on the GMC Ultium platform. The Ultium is a game-changing electric vehicle platform designed around a flexible battery architecture. It helps vehicles achieve exceptional range, power, and performance while making it easier to stay charged. In addition to the Sierra EV, the Ultium platform will be used for several other electric vehicles. A few key attributes of the Ultium platform include:

  • Excellent handling. The Ultium EVs are just as responsive as they are powerful. Backed by a lower center of gravity and almost 50/50 weight distribution, Ultium offers a more responsive and sporty driving experience. 
  • Faster acceleration. While many alternative fuel vehicles aren't known for their performance, the Ultium platform has redefined EV performance. How fast? Consider the new 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup that can blaze the 0 to 60 in as little as three seconds. 
  • Quiet ride. The Ultium EV engine is whisper-quiet, which elevates your driving experience to the next level. 

Because of this dynamic EV platform, GMC will be the only manufacturer to offer three all-electric trucks when the Sierra EV joins the GMC Hummer EV SUV and Pickup.
