2025 GMC SIERRA EV DENALI: NIGHTTIME REVIEW

EV Channels Review

This nighttime review of the 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali highlights both its strengths and notable weaknesses in low-light conditions. The reviewer praises the vehicle's approach animation, illuminated grille, and the overall design of the exterior lighting, which garners positive attention. Interior lighting is generally adequate, with well-lit screens and functional vanity lights. However, significant criticisms are leveled at the lack of illumination in key areas such as the glove compartment, door pockets, and some cupholders, which is deemed unacceptable for a vehicle in this price range. The headlight performance is described as adequate but not impressive, with low beams having a very low cutoff and limited range, and high beams being only slightly better. While the bed lighting is good, the single light source in the cargo area creates shadows. The reviewer concludes that while the Sierra EV Denali excels in some areas, the shortcomings in nighttime functionality, particularly the missing interior lights, are disappointing for a $100,000+ vehicle, suggesting a lack of attention to user experience in dark conditions.
