The 2026 Jeep Recon has arrived, and as the first fully electric “Trail Rated” SUV from Jeep, it’s making waves. Designed from the ground up to deliver the 4x4 capability you expect, now with zero emissions, the Recon is breaking new ground in both the SUV and EV markets.
From its strong, rugged design and removable doors to its all-electric power and modern interior, the new Jeep Recon brings classic Jeep capability into a new EV era.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes the new Jeep Recon stand out, and when you can expect it at a Jeep dealership near you!
2026 Jeep Recon EV - What We Know So Far
The 2026 Jeep Recon offers a new kind of adventure, combining an electrified powertrain with Jeep’s signature rugged design.
Early details show a vehicle that stays true to Jeep's capability while embracing innovation. Here’s what we know so far:
Electrified Performance
The 2026 Jeep Recon uses a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive setup with electric motors at both the front and rear. Together, these motors produce 650 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of instant torque.
That translates into strong real-world performance: the Recon can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 3.6 seconds. In terms of range, Jeep estimates a maximum all-electric driving range of up to 250 miles, depending on trim and driving conditions.
The Recon also stays true to Jeep’s off-road roots. Its all-wheel-drive system, along with Jeep’s Selec-Terrain traction control and sturdy underbody protection, is built to handle all kinds of terrain.
Exterior Design
The exterior of the new Jeep Recon SUV refreshes the classic Jeep look. Its wide stance and signature seven-slot grille are paired with illuminated grille rings and full LED lighting, creating a more modern look.
In true Jeep fashion, open-air freedom is a major part of the Recon’s design. The doors, rear-quarter glass, and swing-gate glass can all be removed without tools. A dual-pane sunroof comes standard, and an available Sky One-Touch Power Top is available, allowing you to enjoy even more fresh air when you’re behind the wheel.
Jeep also added practical trail-ready features, including available side rock rails, durable blacked-out accents, and wider wheel flares on the Moab trim. Everything is designed to function as ruggedly as it looks. You can trust that the Recon feels ready for whatever lies ahead, on or off the pavement!
Interior Design
The interior of the new Jeep Recon is designed to be flexible, comfortable, and ready for adventure. It seats five, and with up to 65.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded, there’s plenty of room for everyone’s gear. The front storage compartment adds even more flexibility.
The layout is practical and modern, with durable materials designed to stand up to everyday use. Helpful features, like a two-tier center console and modular door panels, make it easy to keep your Jeep organized.
When it comes to audio, a premium Alpine audio system comes standard, with speakers mounted under the seats instead of in the doors, so the sound stays clear even when the doors are removed.
Technology & Connectivity
The Recon cabin features a new 12.3-inch digital driver display and a 14.5-inch horizontal center touchscreen, the most digital real estate ever in a Jeep.
Infotainment runs on Jeep’s latest system and includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easy to connect your phone for navigation, music, or messaging.
The dashboard includes a modular accessory rail, which is perfect for mounting cameras, navigation devices, or other gear. This emphasizes the Recon’s focus on both tech and adventure readiness. Plus, with more than 170 standard safety and security features, Recon delivers advanced driver-assistance and peace of mind.
