The GMC Sierra EV pickup just got way more affordable
The 2026 GMC Sierra EV is already over $27,500 cheaper than the outgoing model. With new deals dropping this month, the electric pickup is even more affordable.
The 2026 GMC Sierra gets more affordable and capable
After introducing the new Elevation and AT4 variants for the 2026 model year, GMC said the Sierra EV is now “right in the heart of the premium truck market.” It looks like GMC wasn’t just talking.
The 2026 GMC Sierra EV Elevation starts at $64,495. That’s $27,795 less than the 2025 Denali edition, which has a base price of $92,290 (which we had the opportunity to try out).
After launching new lease deals and other discounts this month, the 2026 GMC Sierra EV is surprisingly affordable. The base Sierra EV 4WD Elevation is listed for lease at just $559 per month. In comparison, monthly leases for the 2025 model year start at $949.
The offer is for a 36-month lease with $5,599 due at signing and based on an MSRP of $64,495. However, the deal is only good until June 30, 2025.
Since the Elevation and Denali trims start under the $80,000 threshold, they qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit (as long as it’s still available).
GM is offering more ways to save on the 20,25 model year, including 2.9% APR for 72 months and a $3,000 Purchase Allowance.
The 2026 GMC Sierra EV is available with three battery pack options: Standard, Extended, and Max Range, boasting a range of up to 478 miles.
With an all-electric powertrain, the Sierra is more capable than ever. The base Elevation trim offers a best-in-class rating of up to 605 horsepower and can tow up to 12,300 lbs.
It also comes with a few added perks, including GMC’s MultiPro Tailgate, a flexible tailgate system with six different configurations that make hauling even easier.
Inside, the electric pickup features a 16.8″ infotainment system with Google built-in. GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driver assistance system comes standard on AT4 and Denali trims.
The new AT4 model features an added 2″ of ground clearance, a lifted coil suspension, perimeter grille illumination, and 35″ all-terrain tires. It also has an exclusive Terrain Mode, which maximizes torque, control, and more using GM’s new software.

With DC fast charging speeds of up to 350 kW, the 2026 Sierra EV can gain about 100 miles of range in roughly 10 minutes.
After cutting lease prices last month, Chevy’s electric pickup, the Silverado EV, may also be worth considering right now.
