GMC Expands Sierra EV Lineup with Affordable New Elevation & AT4 Trim Levels
EV buyers from Cary to Durham looking for new electric trucks can rejoice, as the upcoming GMC Sierra EV slashes its starting price by $28,000 for the 2026 model year with the introduction of a new Elevation trim level. The AT4 is another new configuration. These additional options place the GMC Sierra EV at a more accessible price point for first-time EV buyers looking to make the switch to electric towing.
What to Expect from the AT4 Model
The GMC Sierra EV AT4 brings rugged styling and off-road capability to the Sierra EV lineup at a lower price point. This off-road specialist that runs on electric power will come standard with 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, skid plates, tow hooks, and a two-speed transfer case for serious off-roading. Inside, expect AT4 signatures like unique seats with Kalahari accents.
Performance specs for the Sierra EV AT4 are still under wraps, but GMC says it will offer at least 300 miles of driving range on a full charge. Super fast 350-kW DC fast charging capability will allow adding up to 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes. For adventurers in the Durham area who like to get off the beaten path, the AT4's robust abilities and ample range should be more than sufficient.
Additional Lineup Tweaks for the GMC Sierra EV
Rounding out the lineup, the Sierra EV will continue to be offered in the premium Denali trim levels. The fully-loaded Denali Max will boast GM's hands-free Super Cruise® system, adaptive air suspension, a 16.8-inch touchscreen, and a maximum driving range of up to 460 miles. The mid-grade Denali Extended Range sacrifices some range and a few luxury features to achieve a lower price. You can make multiple towing trips between Durham and Cary on a single charge with the new GMC Sierra EV.
