IS THE 2025 GMC SIERRA EV DENALI WORTH $100K?

EV Channels Review

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali is presented as a more luxurious and refined alternative to its Chevrolet Silverado EV counterpart, though mechanically identical. The reviewer highlights its comfortable, quiet ride, enhanced by laminated glass and improved sound deadening, making it feel premium. The interior is praised for its upscale materials and design, approaching Rivian levels of luxury, though the $100,000 price point remains a significant consideration. While the truck offers impressive range figures (up to 460 miles) and advanced features like Super Cruise, its sheer size and weight are palpable, with some body roll and a slightly lumbering feel on rougher pavement, exacerbated by the large 24-inch wheels. Performance in 'Max Power' mode is strong but not class-leading, and the reviewer notes a gradual throttle response in normal modes. The unique styling, particularly the front 'shield' and illuminated logo, is generally well-received, though the rear design is considered less distinctive. The vehicle's capabilities, including its crabwalk function and surprising off-road agility, are demonstrated and enjoyed, but the high cost and large dimensions are key factors for potential buyers.
