GMC, a leading truck and SUV manufacturer, has announced the launch of the next generation Sierra line-up, the 2019 Sierra Elevation, in the region.

Adding to other recently revealed bold, powerful models of the Sierra, the Elevation makes a statement in design, capability and advanced connectivity, said the company.

In addition to the crew cab model, the Middle East will be the only region in the world to offer a regular cab variant of the 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation, a testament to the Sierra’s significance in the region, it said.

The Sierra Elevation, along with Denali, AT4, SLT and SLE is designed to meet the needs and preferences of discerning GMC customers, it added.

The next generation Sierras are built upon a prominent foundation of strong bodywork that incorporates chiselled fenders and a tall, powerful hood capped with a bigger and bolder grille than any Sierra prior.

Elevation sets itself apart with distinct monochromatic door handles, bumpers and grille surround. The commanding design is amplified with black exterior accents, including the grille inserts, tow hooks, side window trim and available 20-inch aluminium wheels.

Like other modern GMC designs, advanced lighting technology plays a key role in shaping the model. New high-intensity LED headlamps that incorporate C-shaped "light blade" signature lighting elements, LED fog lamps and C-shaped LED elements within the taillights are all standard.

Sajed Sbeih, head of brand, GMC Middle East, said, “The Sierra has often been recognised and celebrated as a legendary car across the region; and the highly anticipated, new 2019 Sierra will certainly foster the heritage of the company’s light-weight pick-up truck among customers.”

“I’m also happy to announce the model will also be coming to our region exclusively in regular-cab model and take customers to an elevated level of design, capability and advanced connectivity,” he added.

The Sierra Elevation is offered with a two-wheel-drive configuration on the regular cab models only) and an available four-wheel-drive configuration for the extended regular cab and crew cab models. The next generation crew cab has nearly 3 inches of additional rear-seat legroom compared to the current model and best-in-class crew cab front head- and legroom (max.), it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
