Oshawa, Ontario (Monday, February 23, 2015) – The 2015 GMC Sierra already offers an unparalleled blend of style and strength, but the new 2015 Sierra Carbon Edition, available at dealers now, adds distinctive style to the mix.

“For customers looking to make a strong statement and stand out from the crowd, the Sierra Carbon Edition models are the answer,” said Mike Speranzini, brand director, GMC in Canada. “The Carbon Edition builds on the strength and sophistication of Sierra, while providing unparalleled style and value in the segment.”

Based on the 2015 Sierra 1500 pickup, the 2015 Sierra Carbon Edition is offered in three different versions, allowing customers to hand-select the truck best suited to their lifestyle.

The striking Sierra Carbon 22 Edition, offered on both Sierra SLE double- and crew cab models, adds distinctive graphics that echo its name. Two carbon fibre appearance graphics emphasize strong forms in the Sierra’s hood, while another graphic dresses up the tailgate panel. Additional exterior touches include a black painted grille, along with body-coloured door handles and mirror caps. The Carbon 22 Edition also incorporates four-inch black tubular side assist steps and unique 22-inch black alloy wheels. Carbon 22 Edition models also include fog lamps, remote keyless start, Universal Home Remote, a 110-volt power outlet and dual-zone climate controls.

The Carbon 20 Edition, offered only as a Sierra SLE double cab, incorporates the same painted grille and carbon fibre appearance accents as the Carbon Edition, and rides on distinctive 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels.

The standard Sierra Carbon Edition builds off the standard Sierra 1500 double cab model with many of the same cues used on the Carbon 22 and 20 Edition models. The Carbon Edition shares its black painted grille, carbon fibre graphics, and body-coloured trim with other Carbon Edition variants, and also includes additional standard content including remote keyless entry, a 110-volt power outlet and light-emitting diode, or LED, cargo box lighting.

All 2015 Sierra Carbon Editions are available with two- or four-wheel drive. A 4.3-litre EcoTec3 V-6 engine is standard equipment, and delivers 285 horsepower, 305 lb-ft of torque, and a fuel consumption rating as low as 13.4 L/100kms in the city and 9.9 L/100km highway for the 2WD model. A 355-horsepower, 5.3-litre EcoTec3 V-8 is optional.

The 2015 Sierra Carbon Edition carries a suggested retail price of $32,975, plus a destination freight charge of $1,695, while pricing for the Carbon 20 Edition and Carbon 22 Edition starts at $38,595 and $42,995, respectively. Dealers now are accepting orders for double-cab and crew cab 2015 Sierra Carbon Edition models.
