EPIC PROPORTIONS AND CAPABILITY | 2026 GMC SIERRA EV AT4 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 is presented as a vehicle of "epic proportions and capability," targeting a niche market with its high price point (starting over $90,000 for the tested AT4 Max range) and impressive performance figures, including over 700 horsepower and a real-world range exceeding 360 miles on the highway, despite a GMC estimate of 478 miles. The reviewer highlights the AT4's fixed 2-inch lift and 10 inches of ground clearance, distinguishing it from the Denali's air suspension. While praising its comfortable, palatial interior and the unique midgate feature for cargo extension, the reviewer notes a lack of innovative interior design compared to competitors like Tesla or Rivian. The truck's immense weight (around 9,000 lbs) is a recurring theme, leading to both impressive acceleration and handling that masks its size, but also concerns about the trend of ever-heavier EVs. Charging costs are noted to be comparable to diesel. The reviewer finds the steering a bit aloof and misses physical climate controls, but appreciates the inclusion of a volume knob and the overall comfortable ride, despite the aggressive tire pressures. Ultimately, while acknowledging its compelling capabilities and utility, the reviewer suggests that its extreme nature and limitations as an EV may limit its appeal to a broad audience, with the Ford F-150 Lightning still considered a more practical overall package.
