Buy GMC Sierra EV Price, PPC or HP
There are now three Sierra EV models to choose from. The Elevation trim is the low-end version with the minimum capabilities in terms of power, range and towing capacity. This one starts at $62,000 with the standard battery pack, 18-inch wheels and no rear-wheel steering.
Lastly, the AT4 is the more rugged version with the coil suspension and size 18 wheels like the Elevation, but it has rear-wheel steering and larger battery options, plus trim-exclusive drive modes.
Which one should I get?
Boils down to what mood you're in. On one hand, the Denali is compelling as an all-rounder. With its large wheels, air suspension and luxury-leaning options, it's the most comfortable version. Sure the AT4 is slightly more hardcore, but while the Denali is less capable, it is still able to truck stuff. The AT4 on the other hand is built for a wider scope of use, and we'd trust the old-fashioned coil suspension over the air bags when it came to off-road use.
Alternatives? In this segment, the Rivian R1T is a compelling electric pickup, particularly the dual motor version that starts at about $78,000. Though fun and capable, the boutique nature of the brand means capability comes at a cost. How rugged you want to be comes down to how precious you regard it.
Ford's F-150 Lightning has a number of models to choose from and has the F-150 level of versatility millions of drivers swear by. It doesn't do cool things like 'crustacean strut' but it's useful in other ways. It's also priced competitively as well, with only its $85,000 Platinum model exceeding the Sierra's starting costs.

Report: Trump escalates EU tariffs deal demands
President Donald Trump is escalating demands that a deal with the European Union on tariffs be reached. The president is reportedly making plans to slap the EU with tariffs of between 15 and 20 percent, as the two sides spar in talks that have caused market anxiety on both sides of the Atlantic. The latest development comes in a report by the Financial Times , which writes that 'hardened stance' would be a minimum tariff that will test the EU trading bloc's tolerance for pain. Trump on Saturday announced a 30 percent tariff to be slapped on imports from the EU and Mexico, in the latest tariff 'letter' announcement after securing only a handful of deals. In that note, Trump once again described a trade deficit – where the U.S. exports more than it imports from a country – as a snub. 'We have had years to discuss our Trading Relationship with The European Union, and we have concluded we must move away from these long-term, large, and persistent, Trade Deficits, engendered by your Tariff, and Non-Tariff, Policies, and Trade Barriers,' Trump wrote. 'Our relationship has been, unfortunately, far from Reciprocal.' That was a reference to the 'reciprocal' tariffs Trump first announced on 'Liberation Day' April 2, only to hit 'pause' after a market meltdown. The FT reports that Trump has been 'unmoved' by the EU's efforts to reduce auto tariffs of 25 percent, and is happy to keep the tariffs where they are as planned, citing people familiar with talks. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has stated the bloc's commitment to dialogue while adding, 'At the same time, we will take all necessary steps to safeguard EU interests, including the adoption of proportionate countermeasures if required," von der Leyen said in a statement.' Italian winemakers have warned that a 30 percent tariff is akin to a 'virtually an embargo' on the product. At the start of the trade war, one family importer told the Daily Mail they were facing a $1 million tax hit. German auto industry association BDI called the escalatory move 'incomprehensible,' and told NBC that 'the costs for our companies have already reached the billions—and with each passing day, the total continues to grow.' Americans could face shortages of wine, cheese, and pasta, a European agriculture association warned. French President Emmanuel Macron has also warned of preparing 'credible countermeasures.' The EU has been seeking to resolve the issue through talks – while preparing countermeasures that are getting the attention of U.S. exporters. American whiskey could also take a hit. The Distilled Spirits Council of the U.S. said in a statement this week that the EU suspension of a retaliatory tariff of 25 percent 'on American Whiskey over the last three years has allowed U.S. distillers to begin rebuilding their presence in our largest export market.' 'The EU's decision to put Bourbon back on its retaliatory target list is a serious setback and deeply alarming,' said association president Chris Swonger. 'This decision threatens to undo the hard-won progress made by American distillers and will be a crushing blow to the recovery of U.S. spirits exports to the EU.' U.S. exports to the EU surged when the retaliatory tariff got paused. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Thursday the U.S. won't accept a delay of the August 1 deadline, after Trump in the past bristled at the idea of a TACO trade effect – which stands for 'Trump Always Chickens Out.' Michal Baranowski, Polish undersecretary of state at the ministry of economic development and technology, said that, as work continues in a bid to reach a deal, the first part of the EU's strategy is to negotiate with U.S. officials in good faith. While seeking a deal, 'let's prepare for countermeasures in case we don't [reach a deal]. And we have countermeasures on both the steel and aluminum tariffs as well as the initial package of 72 billion [euros] for so-called reciprocal tariffs,' Michal Baranowski, a Polish economy minister told CNBC. Trump on Tuesday announced a 19 percent tariff on Indonesia.

Trump pushes for 15-20% minimum tariff on all EU goods, FT reports
July 18 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump is pushing for a minimum tariff of 15% to 20% in any deal with the European Union, the Financial Times reported on Friday, adding that the administration is now looking at a reciprocal tariff rate that exceeds 10%, even if a deal is reached. Trump has also been unmoved by the latest EU offer to reduce car tariffs, and would keep duties on the sector at 25% as planned, the report said citing unnamed sources. Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

Jaguar Land Rover delays launch of new Range Rover Electric
Britain's largest carmaker, Jaguar Land Rover, has delayed the planned launches of its new electric Range Rover and electric Jaguar models to give it time for more testing and for demand to pick up, the Guardian can reveal. JLR has written to customers waiting for the Range Rover Electric to inform them that deliveries of the new version of the model will not start until next year, after initially aiming for late 2025. Two people with knowledge of the carmaker's plans said that two planned Jaguar models – much anticipated since a viral pink-and-blue rebrand – may also be pushed back by several months compared with original plans. JLR has been hit by the impact of Donald Trump's tariffs in recent months; this week it reported a 15.1% drop in sales in the three months to June after a temporary pause in exports to the US. It has also opened a voluntary redundancy scheme for up to 500 managers in an effort to save costs. However, sales are expected to improve after the UK's limited trade deal with the US provided for lower 10% tariffs on the first 100,000 exports. The company has reported a profit for the past 10 consecutive quarters after a turnaround effort. The carmaker, owned by the Indian conglomerate Tata, has been more cautious in embracing electric technology than luxury vehicle rivals. That had left it in danger of steep fines for failing to hit UK electric vehicle sales targets, but that pressure has eased after the UK weakened the rules, known as the zero emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate, in response to heavy lobbying by carmakers including JLR. A JLR spokesperson said: 'By 2030 JLR will sell electric versions of all its luxury brands. Our plans and vehicle architectures are flexible so we can adapt to different market and client demands. We are committed to the highest standards of design, capability and quality, and we will launch our new models at the right time for our clients, our business and individual markets.' Model launch delays of several weeks or even months are not unusual, as carmakers try to align their products to the market. Getting the launch date right is particularly important for Jaguar, which JLR is hoping to reinvent as an electric-only brand that will appeal to younger, wealthier buyers. A promotional campaign in December featuring bright pink and blue concept cars spurred a huge wave of interest – as well as a culture war backlash after a teaser trailer featuring a diverse group of models. The start of production for the first Jaguar electric car since the rebrand, known for now as the Type 00, is set for August 2026, according to a source with knowledge of schedules. Although prices have not yet been confirmed, it is expected to cost more than £100,000. The second Jaguar model may not then follow until December 2027. A new electric version of the Range Rover Velar is also set to start production in April 2026, although it also could be delayed further, the source said. An electric model under the Defender sub-brand could start production in the first quarter of 2027.

Two people with knowledge of JLR's manufacturing operations said the delays had partly been caused by the need to carry out extended testing, because they are the first electric models to to be directly built by the manufacturer. JLR previously sold the electric Jaguar I-Pace, but it was built by a contract manufacturer. One of the people said the delays may not harm JLR financially, because they will allow the company to continue to sell its lucrative petrol and diesel hybrid versions. People inside JLR have said 'the delay has worked in our favour' and 'let's not rush this', the person said. Trump's policies have also made a delay more attractive for JLR, because his administration is actively trying to discourage the shift to electric cars in the US, the manufacturer's key market. Trump's brief period of collaboration with the Tesla boss, Elon Musk, has collapsed into acrimony. JLR's slower shift to electric vehicles would also align with the start of production by a battery factory being built by Tata in Somerset. The plant, built by a subsidiary named Agratas, is due to start production in the last quarter of 2027, according to Tata Motors's latest investor call. That is a year later than the company initially planned.
