2026 GMC Sierra EV Expands Lineup with New AT4 and Elevation Trims

GMC is enhancing its electric truck offering with the 2026 Sierra EV, now available in a broader selection of trims to better meet the needs of various customers. The new AT4 and Elevation trims join the already impressive Denali, rounding out a diverse range that includes options for adventure enthusiasts and those seeking premium features.

The addition of these trims marks a significant expansion of the Sierra EV lineup, giving customers more flexibility with battery configurations and features. Elevation customers will have the option of a Standard or Extended Range battery, while the AT4 trim will be available with either Extended or Max Range options. The Denali trim, known for its luxury and refinement, offers all three battery configurations, catering to those who want a mix of performance and versatility. Specific range estimates for these trims are expected to be revealed closer to the vehicle’s official launch.

Jaclyn McQuaid, GMC's Global Vice President, emphasized the importance of these new trims. She noted that the Elevation, AT4, and Denali trims together account for more than two-thirds of all Sierra light-duty sales, reflecting their popularity among customers. “This expansion brings a compelling all-electric lineup to the market, offering advanced technology, off-road capability, and luxury all in one package,” McQuaid explained.

Sierra EV AT4: Off-Road Ready

For those who demand rugged performance and off-road capability, the Sierra EV AT4 offers a range of features designed to tackle challenging terrains with ease. The AT4 trim comes equipped with a lifted coil suspension and 35-inch all-terrain tires, providing an extra two inches of ground clearance compared to other trims. GMC’s Terrain Mode, exclusive to the AT4, optimizes torque and control for off-roading, enhancing the truck’s maneuverability with one-pedal driving and automatic braking features.

This trim also includes several advanced technologies, such as Super Cruise hands-free driving, which makes long highway drives more relaxed by taking over steering, braking, and acceleration. Additionally, the AT4 offers the option of a MultiPro™ MidGate, which expands the bed to accommodate larger loads without sacrificing rear-passenger space. With the ability to tow up to 5,534 kg (12,200 pounds), the AT4 is built for those who need a versatile and powerful electric truck for both daily tasks and outdoor adventures.

Sierra EV Elevation: Premium Utility and Style

The Sierra EV Elevation is crafted for those who seek a balance of utility and premium features in their electric pickup. This trim includes a sleek 16.8-inch diagonal centre touchscreen, offering an intuitive and modern interface for controlling the truck’s various functions. The Elevation trim also features GMC’s eTrunk™ with a power-operated hood, providing added convenience and storage options.

The Elevation’s design reflects its premium positioning, with unique styling elements such as an After Dark interior theme and 18-inch wheels with a gloss black pocket finish. Customers who opt for this trim will appreciate the available 800-volt DC fast-charging capability, which allows for quick charging times and greater convenience. With an available 7.2 kW Energy Transfer off-board power system, the Elevation is also equipped to provide power for tools and other devices, making it a great choice for those who require off-grid capabilities. Super Cruise hands-free driving is also available for this trim, further elevating the convenience and technology offered by the Sierra EV Elevation.

Sierra EV Denali: Luxury and Versatility

The Sierra EV Denali continues to serve as the pinnacle of the Sierra lineup, offering customers the most comprehensive selection of features and configurations. The Denali trim is now available with all three battery options—Standard, Extended, and Max Range—allowing for a highly customizable experience that caters to different driving needs. The Denali also includes two distinct interior options and a wealth of standard features, including heated and ventilated seats, and GMC’s advanced Super Cruise technology.

Customers who choose the Denali will also have access to a suite of luxury refinements, including the option for an air adaptive suspension for a smoother ride and a panoramic fixed glass roof for a more expansive cabin feel. The Denali trim is designed for those who want an elevated driving experience, combining the performance and technology of the Sierra EV with the sophistication and comfort expected from GMC’s flagship model.

New Colour Options and More

In addition to the expanded trim lineup, the 2026 Sierra EV will be available in an array of new colour choices, allowing buyers to personalize their trucks even further. New colours include Glacier White Tri-Coat Metallic, Coastal Dune, Deep Bronze Metallic, and Magnus Matte, in addition to popular shades like Onyx Black, Deep Ocean Metallic, and Thunderstorm Gray Metallic.

The 2026 GMC Sierra EV lineup offers more choices than ever, combining off-road capability, premium luxury, and cutting-edge technology in a fully electric truck. As Canadian pricing is expected to be announced at a later date, prospective buyers can look forward to additional details ahead of the truck’s official release.
