2026 Jeep Recon Debuts as Brand’s First Fully Electric, Off-Road SUV

Jeep has unveiled the 2026 Jeep Recon, marking the brand’s first fully electric, off-road SUV.

Developed on a dedicated electric platform, the Recon is positioned as an EV designed for genuine off-road use, combining the brand’s traditional 4x4 hardware with an all-electric powertrain.The Recon follows the Wagoneer S and Avenger as Jeep expands its EV lineup.

The Recon uses front and rear electric drive modules producing a combined 650 hp and 840 Nm of torque, enabling an estimated 0–60 mph time of 3.6 seconds. It features standard electric four-wheel drive, Jeep’s Selec-Terrain system, and an estimated 250-mile driving range, depending on trim. 

The Recon's off-road components include an electronic locking rear differential, steel underbody protection, Selec-Speed low-speed control, and up to 9.1 inches of ground clearance with the Moab trim’s 33-inch tires. The SUV offers approach, departure and breakover angles of 33.8°, 33.1° and 23.3°, respectively.

The Recon’s exterior incorporates several Jeep design cues, such as illuminated seven-slot grille rings, LED lighting, and removable doors and rear glass.

The cabin features a horizontal dashboard layout, a 12.3-inch driver display, a 14.5-inch central touchscreen, Uconnect 5 software, and the Trails Offroad application. Additional features include durable interior materials, modular storage areas and a standard Alpine audio system.

Production is scheduled to begin early next year at the Toluca Assembly Plant in Mexico. Initial availability will be in the United States and Canada, with global rollout planned afterward.
