PRECISION MATTERS

It matters in every pound-foot of torque, every millimeter of fit and finish and every decibel of quiet. That’s what drives us to reimagine solutions and create rewarding driving experiences. The new 2016 Sierra proves we never stay in neutral. We took the truck known for its capability as well as its refined, comfortable and quiet cabin and raised the bar. Sierra offers new exterior LED lighting, Apple CarPlay™

It also means that Crew Cabs offer spacious rear leg room, while Double Cabs feature forward-hinged rear doors to make getting into and out of the rear seat easier.

ANATOMY OF PREMIUM COMFORT.

Sierra achieves the ultimate in support and comfort. Its seats are engineered to feel good from day one and for the long haul. Add available leather appointments and heating and ventilation, and leaving the seats may not be easy to do. Convenient and generous storage options abound so everything is at your fingertips.

LASTING COMFORT SEATS Hard work shouldn’t describe the front seats in your Sierra. That’s

precisely why they feature a bolstered design to support you and dual-ﬁrmness foam to provide lasting comfort. We used generous seat cushion bolsters so they’ll maintain their shape and appearance over time. A premium grade of foam was selected for its ability to retain its shape over time to reduce driver and passenger fatigue. The seats also use high-wear materials that were tested for 100,000 durability cycles of entry and exit.

HEATED AND VENTILATED FRONT SEATS The ultimate in all-weather comfort, these seats

(standard on Denali; available on SLT) are perforated and leather appointed. You’ll also appreciate the warmth of front heated leather-appointed seats on SLT or available front heated seats on SLE.

POWER FRONT SEATS Get comfortable at the touch of a button with available power-adjustable

front seats. Driver-seat adjustment is available for 40/20/40 seating with select equipment packages, and power driver and front-passenger seats are included with all bucket seats on SLE (10-way driver/six-way passenger), SLT (10-way driver/10-way passenger) and Denali (12-way driver/12-way passenger).

PREMIUM MATERIALS Sierra offers premium materials

such as a soft-touch feel on the instrument panel, while real aluminum trim and contrasting stitching give the interior an overall refined appearance.

REAR-SEAT ACCESS Rear-seat comfort is the result of

40.9" of leg room on Crew Cabs. And getting into and out of the second row in the Double Cab is easy, thanks to forward-hinged rear doors.

HEATED STEERING WHEEL Standard on Denali and available

on SLT, the leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel adds warmth whenever you demand it.

GENEROUS STORAGE An available center ﬂoor console max-

imizes space with a cavernous storage bin large enough for hanging ﬁles, a laptop or mobile devices. Pockets on either side of the console and in the door panels offer “grab and go” convenience and twin glove boxes give you and your companions personal storage areas.

POWER-ADJUSTABLE PEDALS To help drivers of varying

sizes sit at a comfortable distance from the steering wheel, adjustable pedals are available on SLE and standard on SLT and Denali.

CLIMATE CONTROL Automatic dual-zone climate control with

individual settings for the driver and front-seat passenger is standard on SLT and Denali and available on SLE.

MAKES A POWERFUL FIRST IMPRESSION.

DENALI

Our designers love details as much as our engineers do. A prime example is Sierra Denali—a premium pickup like no other. It achieves a level of perfection—and attention—that begins with a bold, confident, sculpted design with no such thing as a small detail. For 2016, that means a redesigned front appearance, new Denali-exclusive grille, high-performance LED headlamps, thin-profile LED fog lamps and LED taillamps and available tri-mode power steps with side bed access. In addition, we’ve taken Denali’s style, craftsmanship and capability to a higher level on 4WD models by offering the new Sierra Denali Ultimate. It includes 22" wheels (with chrome or black inserts), chrome tow hooks, a power sunroof, tri-mode power steps and the Driver Alert Package to make this the ultimate expression of our professional, premium-grade trucks.
