It is also a structural element of the vehicle, which contributes to its overall strength, durability and performance. Standing proud and standing tall. Front and rear electric drive units channel power and torque to the wheels via an e4WD system for most any driving scenario imaginable. After the launch of the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1, GMC will introduce additional lower priced trims with a selection of ranges and trailering ratings. Additionally, the 2024 Sierra EV Denali Edition 1’s Power Station Pro allows the truck to be used as a mobile power source in multiple situations. With the available Ultium Power Bar accessory, the 2024 Sierra EV offers 10.2kW of off-board power through up to 10 outlets that can help power tools and other accessories on the trail or at a campsite, as needed. When properly equipped, the Sierra EV Denali’s Power Station Pro can even power another EV. This off-board power capability means that with the right configuration, such as a bi-directional charger and additional products and services offered through GM Energy’s Ultium Home line, the Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 can power a home’s essential necessities, for up to 21 days collectively. The 2024 Sierra EV Denali includes a 19.2kW onboard AC charging module for home and public charging. It also features 800V DC Public Fast Charging capability of up to 350kW, enabling approximately 100 miles of range to be added in only 10 minutes. <-- That is F’ing fast!!! Like much of Audi’s EV lineup, the GMC Sierra EV Denali boots up after the driver enters with a key fob in his or her pocket. Place your foot on the brake, put the vehicle into gear, and off you go. The central 16.8” display is paired with an 11” diagonal driver and a multi-color HUD offering 14” inches of view. Up to 14 camera views are optional to see around the vehicle. The Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 includes the first true hands-free driver assistance Super Cruise. <-- A lot of noise for a gimmicky feature imho. Drive Modes Standard Tow/Haul Off-Road Customizable “My Mode” Max Power 4-Wheel Steer CrabWalk One-Pedal Driving The 2024 Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 shows off an ultra-premium aesthetic including a new interpretation of the GMC grille. The Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 will be offered exclusively in a Crew Cab model with an integrated 5’-11” bed. Its storage capacity is maximized with the MultiPro Midgate, which provides 9 feet of storage between the cab and the tailgate, when the Midgate is open. A 60/40-split second-row seat offers four configurations that allow users to haul gear or equipment while still accommodating a passenger, and an available tonneau cover allows longer items such as a kayak or windsurfing board to be stowed under a lockable, weatherproof cover. When this tailgate is down and MultiPro Tailgate load-stop is open, the maximum load floor length extends to nearly 11 feet! Up front, the eTrunk offers lockable weatherproof cargo space with two drains and a 120-volt power outlet. The flat floor enables more storage space in the cab, including a modular center console. The 2024 Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 arrives ready to tow up to 9,500 pounds with up to 1,300 pounds of payload albeit range is cut in half with anything over 7,500 lbs. The trailering package is standard on this launch trim. The Panoramic fixed glass roof is infrared reflective and has a UV coating to help keep the cabin comfortable. The wood décor is complemented with aluminum accents and even etched stainless steel on the speaker grilles of the Bose audio system. Additionally, the electric vehicle sound enhancement technology, developed with Bose, elevates the driver’s sensory experience. Arriving in early 2024, the deliveries of the 2024 GMC Sierra EV Denali Edition 1 will be priced at $107,000 (plus DFC). The lower trim Sierra EVs will be announced closer to the start of production, with MSRPs starting around $50,000 plus D&H. This is GMs future and it will be a good one if they can supply their EV lineup in quantity and not decontent the more affordable lower cost trims too harshly.
