The 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 introduces advanced electric vehicle technology combined with practical utility features designed to meet the demands of full-size pickup users. This model is available in two battery range configurations, offering significant driving distances on a single charge and incorporating innovations in powertrain, suspension, and cargo capacity. 

Electric Drive System and Power Output

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 operates with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system using performance torque vectoring technology. These two electric motors are positioned on the front and rear axles. Together they deliver 760 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque, providing strong acceleration and capable handling. 

Power is supplied by GM’s Ultium battery technology, which consists of multiple linked modules using advanced battery chemistry optimized for energy density and thermal management. The battery pack is available in two configurations: an Extended Range version estimated to provide 390 miles of driving range and a Max Range version estimated at 460 miles. Actual range may vary depending on factors such as ambient temperature, terrain, load, and driving style.

Charging capabilities include support for 800-volt DC fast charging, which allows charging rates of up to 350 kilowatts. This enables the truck to regain approximately 100 miles of range in about 10 minutes when connected to a compatible high-speed charger.

Chassis and Suspension Features

The truck’s chassis integrates an adaptive air ride suspension system on both the front and rear axles. This system allows the ride height to be adjusted by roughly two inches. Adjusting the suspension height provides a balance between ride comfort and ground clearance.

The 2025 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 uses column-mounted electric power steering, which contributes to precise steering input and efficient maneuvering. The steering system works in tandem with four-wheel steering technology, delivering a turning circle of 42.16 feet. 

Braking is managed by 17-inch front and rear sliding caliper disc brakes fitted with DURALIFE rotors. These rotors are designed for durability and include regenerative braking capabilities that help recover energy during deceleration to extend driving range. The braking system also includes four-wheel antilock brakes to maintain control under hard braking conditions.

The wheels measure 24 inches in diameter and are equipped with LT275/50R24 all-season blackwall tires, combining size and tread for traction and road presence appropriate for a vehicle of this class.

Exterior Dimensions and Cargo Capacity

The exterior dimensions reflect the full-size status, with a wheelbase measuring 145.7 inches and an overall length of 233.2 inches. The overall width including mirrors is 95.7 inches, while the width without mirrors is 83.8 inches. The vehicle height is 78.2 inches. Front and rear overhangs measure 36.5 inches and 51.3 inches respectively, while the track width is 68.7 inches.

The truck’s bed design incorporates the Multipro™ MidGate feature. This allows the bed to expand, enabling the transportation of items nearly 11 feet long without sacrificing rear passenger seating. The cargo box volume totals 57.5 cubic feet, while an additional front trunk, called the eTrunk™, offers 11 cubic feet of secure storage space.

Interior Space and Ergonomics

Interior dimensions emphasize passenger comfort within the full-size truck cabin. Maximum headroom measures 43.9 inches in the front seats and 38.7 inches in the rear. Legroom is generous, with 44.8 inches available to front passengers and 44.3 inches in the rear. Shoulder room spans 64 inches in the front and 63.3 inches in the back. Hip room measures 62.1 inches up front and 61.4 inches in the rear seats.

Safety and Control Systems

The safety architecture integrates standard systems designed to maintain control and stability. The four-wheel antilock braking system works with regenerative braking to ensure balanced deceleration and maximize energy recovery. The adaptive air suspension also contributes to stability by adjusting to changing road conditions in real time.

While detailed descriptions of active safety technologies are not specified, the truck’s electric drivetrain layout provides a low center of gravity, which typically reduces rollover risk and improves handling dynamics. 

Integrated Charging and Energy Management

The Ultium battery system is engineered to provide efficient energy management. Fast charging at up to 350 kW supports quick turnarounds at public charging stations, enabling extended trips with minimal interruption. Charging time to add roughly 100 miles of range is about 10 minutes under optimal conditions.

The regenerative braking system recovers kinetic energy during deceleration and converts it into electrical energy, which is then returned to the battery.
