2016 GMC Sierra All Terrain X launched

GMC's latest special edition mixes extra off-road ability with some cosmetic tweaks. Called the All Terrain X, it's based on the existing Sierra 1500 SLT and availability will be restricted to the crew cab version with a short cargo box.

As per the regular All Terrain model, the standard specification features four-wheel drive, an Eaton locking rear differential and the Z71 upgraded suspension package.

Additional 'X' items include LED headlights, side steps, a bed-mounted sport bar and 18” x 8.5” black-finish wheels shod with 265/65R18SL Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac MT tyres.

Furthermore, a performance exhaust is fitted to the 5.3 litre V8 engine. As well as providing a more distinctive sound, this lifts output from the usual 355 bhp (264 kW / 360 PS) to 365 bhp (272 kW / 370 PS).

Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
