Doug DeMuro gave the 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali an enthusiastic 86/100 review, praising it as "shockingly competent" and among his favorite EVs. The truck excels in performance with 755 horsepower and 0-60 in the low 4-second range, innovative driving tech including four-wheel steering and crabwalk capability, and practical innovation like a folding midgate that expands cargo space and a front trunk with power opener and household outlets. The standout weakness is value, with the Denali Edition One starting around $100,000—a price point DeMuro acknowledges is becoming normalized but still represents a significant premium for truck buyers accustomed to lower price points. The Sierra EV Denali is best suited for luxury-focused buyers who prioritize cutting-edge technology, performance, and interior quality over traditional truck practicality and affordability.

Redline Reviews gives the 2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 a highly positive 91/100 rating, praising its driving technology and efficiency—the truck delivers Super Cruise hands-free driving with a 360-degree camera system, achieves up to 470 miles of range, and can add 100 miles in roughly 10 minutes with 350 kW fast charging. The truck also excels in livability with 1,950 lbs payload capacity and 12,300 lbs towing, plus aggressive styling with LED accents that reviewers say makes it one of their favorite looking trucks, though the design and cabin tech dimensions score slightly lower at 77/100 with mentions of eventual charging standard updates needed. Redline notes that GMC has priced the new AT4 trim competitively—nearly $40,000 less than the previous Denali-only offering—making this a solid value proposition for buyers wanting an off-road electric truck. This truck is ideal for consumers seeking a practical all-electric truck with genuine off-road credentials and fast charging, without the premium price tag of the fully loaded Denali.
