People have been waiting for the next gen F-150 Lightning as well as 2025 GMC Sierra EV because of the promises that these trucks would be extremely impressive for their performance. We all know that SUVs and (pickup) trucks market has been expanding, and the electrification makes it even more exciting. Expect harsh competition among the two, and it won’t just stop. If Sierra is as good as promised, it’s no wonder if people are joining the hype because that’s what you will get when you entrust your future ride in the hands of the experts.
Performance and Range
One thing to expect from the 2025 GMC Sierra EV would be the performance and the driving range with electric output. Take an example from Sierra Denali Edition 1 which is known as this high powered ‘beast’. The Sierra EV is the second electric truck after GMC Hummer EV, which means that Sierra also uses the Ultium Drive motors and also batteries.
However, Sierra isn’t just another ‘upgraded’ version. It has its own ability, performance, and power, especially with Ultium technology platform. It’s safe to say that it is able to cover 400 miles of range – which is far greater than F-150’s 300 miles or Lariat and XLT’s 320 miles. If you want a reliable partner for your next adventure without costing you extra, then Sierra would be the perfect option.
Moreover, Sierra is able to produce 754 hp and 785 Nm of torque within Max Power style mode. For a truck, which is usually big and heavy, such figures are definitely impressive. Imagine a big and powerful truck is able to move fast and swiftly; that must be scary.
Speedy Charging Ability
You need to think about the charging feature when you have an electric vehicle. Not only it should be made easy, but the charging process itself should be efficient and swift. Sierra EV has 800V DC (fast) charging abilities, but it can go with 350 kW, even for the Elevation, which is the base trim of Sierra EV. It means that you can enjoy 100 miles of coverage with only 10 minutes of charge. The truck has onboard 19.2 kW AC module that can accommodate easy (and fast) public charging as well as home charging. As if it weren’t enough, the EV owners would be able to get access to the Ultium Charge 360 that can make the charging easy, along with publicly 110,000 available charging points around the US and also Canada.
Interior Cabin Comfort
Sierra EV may be tough and rough on the outside, but it’s a luxury on the inside. It comes with CoreTec, GMS’s special high performance material for the seats (in quilted mode) that would be resistant to stain. Not only it’s durable and long lasting, but it’s also highly comfortable. You can expect unique décor accents, with Galvano chrome finish that matches perfectly with jet black interior of the car. There is also Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, which would ensure the maximum riding height for a comfy ride when unloaded or fully loaded.
Futuristic Design
Ford F-150 Lightning may be sophisticated, but the EV version has similar design and look as the regular gas powered model. It’s certainly different from the Sierra. Its muscular exterior area is ‘adorned’ with modern design to boost styling and appearance. Expect the chrome accented front grille paired just nicely with L-shape light that somewhat ‘disappears’ to the big front bumper. There is even a combination of glossy black accents (on the side), the sculpted hood, and also unique lighting that lights up when you charge the car. Its overall look simply screams EV cool ride!
The starting price for the base Elevation model is said to be $50,000 and it will go up depending on the trim level. We still wait for the official launch date of 2025 GMC Sierra EV so stay tuned!
