The Jeep brand, part of Stellantis that has its headquarters in Auburn Hills, has debuted the 2026 Jeep Recon, the first and only fully electric, Trail Rated SUV in the industry.
Engineered from the ground up, the Jeep Recon delivers 4×4 capability in a fully electrified package.
The Recon’s standard, all-electric, four-wheel drive delivers traction across a variety of terrain, supported by the Jeep brand’s exclusive Selec-Terrain system with multiple drive modes tailored for all conditions.
With 650 horsepower and 620 lb.-ft. of instant torque, the Jeep Recon accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 3.6 seconds. It has an estimated all-electric range of up to 250 miles (based on trim).
“The 2026 Jeep Recon is a bold step forward for the brand, an all-electric SUV that stays true to our core values of freedom, adventure, and capability. It’s trail-rated, purpose-built and ready to take Jeep enthusiasts into the future without compromising the legendary performance they expect,” says Bob Broderdorf, CEO of the Jeep brand.
“With the Jeep Recon, we’re proving that electrification isn’t just compatible with off-road excellence, it can elevate it, delivering instant torque, precision control, and a quieter, more connected driving experience that’s uniquely Jeep.”
With a starting MSRP of $65,000 (excludes $1,995 destination), production of the 2026 Jeep Recon will begin early next year at the Toluca Assembly Plant in Mexico, with initial launches in the U.S. and Canada, followed by global expansion.
The core of the Jeep Recon’s propulsion system is the front and rear Stellantis-designed electric drive modules (EDMs), each rated at 250 kilowatts, which deliver standard electric 4×4 propulsion and instant torque on demand.
Each EDM combines an electric motor, gearing and power electronics into a single, compact unit for enhanced efficiency.
Jeep engineers have tailored the Recon’s throttle pedal to deliver torque in a controlled and precise manner.
Engineers also prepped the Jeep Recon for trail duty with large-diameter half shafts and constant velocity (CV) joints to get all the torque to the wheels. The 100-kilowatt-hour, 400-volt battery pack is protected with a full suite of sturdy, high-strength steel underbody shields.
The Selec-Terrain traction management system adds Rock mode for the Moab trim (joining Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand), providing unique software calibrations to help the driver make the best use of the capabilities inherent in an EV powertrain.
Rock mode tailors throttle pedal response to help manage progress over uneven terrain, enabling a two-pedal driving technique to control the vehicle. Rock mode also includes a hill hold feature that lets the driver’s foot move from the brake to the throttle pedal without the vehicle moving.
Additionally, the Jeep Recon is fitted with low-speed Selec-Speed Control for challenging inclines and declines. When engaged, Selec-Speed Control maintains the set speed, freeing the driver to concentrate on steering.
Expansive glass maximizes visibility, while the upright front face features illuminated seven-slot grille rings, U-shaped daytime running lights, and a full suite of standard premium LED lighting.
The Jeep Recon offers a standard dual-pane sunroof or an available Sky One-Touch powertop. Flush-mounted e-release handles provide easy access, and the Recon stands as the only fully electric vehicle designed with removable doors, rear quarter glass, and swing gate glass. No tools are required.
Gloss Black accents on the grille, pillars, and window trim, plus an available Gloss Black roof, add visual contrast. At the rear are Wrangler-inspired LED taillamps and a swing gate, which holds the full-size, rear-mounted spare tire, a segment-exclusive feature.
The Moab trim offers Gloss Black fascias, wheel flares, available side rock rails, and exclusive Jeep badging featuring topographical etching and an anti-glare hood graphic.
The vehicle offers a rotating palette of exterior colors, including special-edition hues — from hues that radiate energy to utility-inspired tones and refined neutrals that balance sophistication with adventure.
The 2026 Jeep Recon’s cabin blends durable, trail-ready materials with smart, customizable storage and technology, delivering a space that’s functional.
At the heart of the interior is a horizontal layout anchored by a passenger-side grab handle and a clean, symmetrical dash. Other interior features include a modular accessory rail atop the instrument panel for mounting cameras and navigation devices, along with scuff-resistant vortex-textured surfaces.
A two-tiered pass-through center console offers room for gear, featuring an available wireless charger on the upper level and a cord pass-through to a lower compartment for tablets, purses or larger items.
Modular door panels with removable elastic straps and interchangeable cargo solutions provide flexible organization, while 65.9 cu. ft. of rear cargo space (with the second row folded) and a front trunk (3.0 cu. ft.) sized for a carry-on suitcase ensure the Jeep Recon is ready for any journey.
