2025 GMC SIERRA EV: FIRST DRIVE EXPERIENCE, MODEL LINEUP, LAUNCH EVENT, AND CHARGING

EV Channels Review

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali receives a mixed but largely positive review following its first drive event. The reviewer highlights significant improvements over the 2024 Edition One, particularly in range, with the max range version estimated at 460 miles, surpassing the previous 440 miles. Charging performance is also noted as strong, holding over 200 kW and delivering approximately 140 kWh in 33 minutes. The Denali trim is praised for its premium interior, superior NVH levels, and nicer materials compared to the Silverado EV, making it a more luxurious experience. However, the large 24-inch wheels are criticized for compromising ride comfort, making it feel rougher than expected for a Denali. The reviewer also questions the necessity of the midgate, suggesting it compromises isolation without being frequently used. The introduction of more trims like Elevation and AT4 for the 2025 model year, along with more competitive pricing starting around $90,000 for the Extended Range model, is seen as a positive step for market competitiveness.
