The Jeep Wrangler’s PHEV has been on the road for quite some time, but there has yet to be a full EV SUV in Jeep’s lineup. Well, get ready for 2026 and say hello to the Jeep Recon EV! The Recon is ready for any adventure, from work to the trail. Let’s break down what we know so far.
Key Takeaways:
- The 2026 Jeep Recon is slated to be released at the end of 2025.
- Its price could be $60,000 or $70,000, depending on trim and other options.
- The EV SUV is Jeep's third, but only the second offered in the U.S.
Will the 2026 Jeep Recon EV Be Good For Offroading?
Our first peek of the 2026 Recon came during the 2025 Super Bowl in a commercial with Harrison Ford, and it was dressed to impress. We know so far that the Recon will feature removable doors and spare tire on a swing-open rear gate. Additional to the Jeep are recovery hooks at the back and front, flared wheel arches, off-road tires, and front and rear overhangs. The Recon will be off-road ready capable with all-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, and considerable ground clearance.
The Recon will be built on Stellantis’s modular STLA Large platform, with 400- or 800-volt electrical architectures (much like the Wagoneer S.) However, the automaker has yet to reveal which the Recon will use. It will likely feature a fully independent suspension, potentially with adjustable ride height.
Will the 2026 Jeep Recon Deliver Powerful Performance and Off-Road Capability?
We don’t yet know much about the Recon’s powertrain. A 600-hp dual-motor setup with all-wheel drive used in the Wagoneer could make its way into the Recon. Four-wheel traction will probably be standard to the SUV, while electronic locking differentials have been confirmed.
When Can you Expect More Information About the 2026 Jeep Recon EV?
