Introducing the All-new, All-electric 2026 Jeep® Recon: Trail Rated Capability, Electrified

The Jeep® brand is charging into the future with the debut of the 2026 Jeep Recon -  the first and only fully electric Trail Rated SUV in the industry. Engineered from the ground up for adventure, the Jeep Recon delivers legendary Jeep 4x4 capability in a fully electrified package.

Built on purpose-designed electric architecture, the Jeep Recon blends powerful performance with authentic 4xe capability. Its standard, all-electric, four-wheel drive delivers confident traction across diverse terrain, enhanced by the Jeep exclusive Selec-Terrain system with multiple drive modes tailored for all conditions. Producing 650hp and 620 lb.-ft. of instant torque, the Jeep Recon offers precise control from the first touch of the throttle and accelerates from zero to 60 mph in as little as 3.7 seconds. With an estimated all electric range of up to 250 miles (depending on trim) the Recon represents a bold, electrified expression of Jeep brand DNA - trail ready, rugged and adventure ready.

“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,” said 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.”

From its electrified powertrain to its unmistakable, authentic design, the Jeep Recon is built to deliver a new kind of adventure - one that is as capable both on and off the trail as it is forward-thinking in its technology and features.

Production of the 2026 Jeep Recon will begin early next year at the Toluca Assembly Plant, with initial launches in the U.S. and Canada, followed by global expansion.

Built to perform: electrified architecture delivers 4xe strength and daily driving comfort

The only fully electric Trail Rated SUV, the Jeep Recon is engineered to conquer today’s diverse terrain – from urban streets to rugged wilderness trail At the heart of the Jeep Recon propulsion system are the front and rear Stellantis-designed electric drive modules (EDMs), each rated at 250kw, delivering standard electric 4x4 propulsion and instant torque on demand. Each EDM combines an electric motor, gearing and power electronics into a single, compact unit for enhanced efficiency.

The propulsion system is rated at 620 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing the driver to access all of it almost instantly, without waiting for conventional engine revolutions to build. Jeep engineers have calibrated the throttle for precise, controlled torque delivery, ensuring a satisfying off-road driving experience.Off-road performance is further enhanced by an electronic locking differential, which ensures torque is delivered to both rear wheels when engaged. At the flip of a switch, the driver can seamlessly transition open differential to fully locked.

The front EDM features an 11:1 final drive ratio within an open differential design that balances performance with comfort. The front axle incorporates automatic disconnects at each wheel end, optimising energy use and range during typical on-road driving when rear-drive propulsion is more efficient. Engineers equipped the Jeep Recon for trail duty with large-diameter half shafts and robust constant velocity (CV) joints to efficiently deliver all torque to the wheels. The 100kWh, 400-volt battery pack is protected by a comprehensive suite of sturdy, high-strength steel underbody shields.

The suspension on the Jeep Recon – a short-long arm (SLA) up front and integral link in the rear – is engineered to respond precisely to driver inputs while maximising tyre contact for an optimal balance of on-road comfort and off-road capability.The suspension and standard 33-inch tyres on the Moab trim provide 9.4 inches of ground clearance. Off-road specifications include 34-degree approach angle, 34.5-degree departure angle and 23.5-degree breakover angle.

The Selec-Terrain traction management system includes a Rock mode for the Moab trim (along with Auto, Sport, Snow, Sand), delivering unique software calibrations to help the driver make the best use of the capabilities inherent in an EV powertrain. Rock mode tailors throttle 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 allows the driver to transition from brake to the accelerator without the vehicle moving. Additionally, the Jeep Recon is fitted with low-speed Selec-Speed Control for navigating challenging inclines and declines. When engaged, Selec-Speed Control maintains a set speed, allowing the driver to focus entirely on steering.

Exterior design: purposeful, iconic and built for adventure

The 2026 Jeep Recon combines world-class craftsmanship with bold proportions and unmistakable Jeep DNA. Heritage-inspired yet future-focused, it honours the brand’s legacy through iconic design cues while presenting a modern, all-electric vision of adventure - built to excite loyal enthusiasts and to inspire a new generation of trailblazers. Expansive glass enhances 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.

True to the open-air heritage of Jeep, the Recon offers a standard dual-pane sunroof or an optional Sky One-Touch Power Top. Flush-mounted e-release handles provide effortless access, and the Jeep Recon is 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, with an optional Gloss Black roof, add striking visual contrast. At the rear, Wrangler-inspired LED taillamps and a swing tailgate that carries the full-size, rear-mounted spare tyre - a segment-exclusive feature.

The rugged Moab trim, which debuts first, adds even more attitude with Gloss Black fascias, wheel flares, optional side rock rails and exclusive Jeep badging featuring topographical etching and an anti-glare ho od graphic.

Staying true to the adventurous, fun-loving spirit the Jeep brand is known for, the Recon celebrates individuality with a rotating palette of expressive exterior colors, including special-edition hues. From vibrant shades that radiate playful energy to rugged, utility-inspired tones and refined neutrals that blend sophistication with adventure, the Jeep Recon offers a color for every personality.

Interior design: rugged utility meets refined innovation

The 2026 Jeep Recon interior is purpose-built for adventure, where rugged utility meets refined innovation. Inspired by the legendary Jeep off-road heritage, the cabin combines durable, trail-ready materials with smart, customisable storage and advanced technology, creating a space that is both functional and forward-thinking.

At the heart of the interior is an iconic horizontal layout anchored by a bold passenger-side grab handle and a clean, symmetrical dash. Thoughtful details, such as a modular accessory rail atop the instrument panel for mounting cameras, navigation devices or even a duck holder and scuff-resistant vortex-textured surfaces, reinforce the off-road readiness and technical edge of Jeep Recon.

Designed with the modern adventurer in mind, the Jeep Recon interior redefines utility with expanded storage and adaptable functionality. A two-tiered pass-through center console offers generous room for gear, featuring an optional wireless charger on the upper level and a cord pass-through to a lower compartment ideal for tablets, bags 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, sized for a carry-on suitcase (3.0 cu. ft.), ensure the Jeep Recon is ready for any journey.

The Moab trim introduces a new captivating Joshua Tree tan interior, a rugged yet refined color palette inspired by an authentic journey to the iconic national park that shares its name. This design pays homage to the raw beauty of the landscape and the spirit of exploration, blending earthy tones with premium materials to evoke both adventure and tranquility.

Recycled materials are thoughtfully integrated throughout the cabin, reflecting the brand’s commitment to sustainability. Seat, console, door and instrument panel surfaces are finished in Capri, a refined, non-leather synthetic material, complemented by distinctive accents, such as Iron Grey Metallic trim and Quicksand deco finish in Arctic. The headliner and carpets also incorporate recycled content, while rugged all-weather mats in the front, second row and rear cargo area offer durable protection against the elements, reinforcing the vehicle’s adventurous spirit and eco-conscious design.

Enhancing the open-air experience, the Jeep Recon comes standard with a premium Alpine audio system. Repositioned speakers, moved from the traditional door mounts to beneath the seats, ensure uninterrupted sound quality even with the doors removed. This thoughtful design allows drivers and passengers to fully embrace the outdoors without sacrificing audio performance. The Jeep Recon stands alone in its segment as the only EV to offer premium sound as standard equipment.
