For decades, the Jeep brand has defined off-road capability. Now, the adventure is going silent, powerful, and all-electric. Jeep has officially unveiled the 2026 Jeep Recon, the industry’s first fully electric SUV to wear the coveted Trail Rated badge.
This isn’t just an EV; it’s a pure, purpose-built off-roader designed to conquer challenging terrain with a whole new kind of muscle—instant electric torque. The Recon proves that electrification doesn’t just complement legendary 4×4 capability—it elevates it.
Forget traditional transmissions; the Recon is built on a dedicated electric architecture that delivers heart-stopping power and precision.
- Horsepower & Torque: The Recon packs a staggering 650 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of instant torque from its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. This makes it the most powerful vehicle in Jeep’s lineup.
- Performance: That immediate, immense torque rockets the Recon from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 3.6 seconds, proving its speed on the street rivals its strength on the rocks.
- Off-Road Tech: Standard features include the Selec-Terrain® traction management system with modes like Auto, Sand, Snow, Sport, and an exclusive Rock mode on the Moab trim. The Moab trim also boasts an e-locking rear differential and a high 15:1 final drive ratio for superior low-speed crawling.
The Recon is engineered from the ground up to uphold the Trail Rated standard, which it earns by mastering five categories: Traction, Water Fording, Maneuverability, Articulation, and Ground Clearance.
On the launch Moab trim, key specs include:
- Ground Clearance: A robust 9.1 inches with its off-road suspension and standard 33-inch tires.
- Angles: Ready for steep obstacles with a 33.8-degree approach angle, 33.1-degree departure angle, and 23.3-degree breakover angle.
- Underbody Protection: The 100.5-kWh battery pack and drive motors are shielded by high-strength steel skid plates, giving you confidence over rocky terrain.
True to Jeep DNA, the Recon offers an unparalleled open-air experience, making it the only fully electric vehicle on the market with this level of removable bodywork.
- Removable Doors: Just like the Wrangler, the Recon allows for easy, tool-free removal of all four doors.
- Removable Glass: For the ultimate immersive adventure, the rear quarter glass and swing gate glass are also removable.
- Roof Options: Choose between a standard dual-pane sunroof or the available Sky One-Touch® Power Top for instant open-air freedom.
Designed to get you deep into the trail and back, the Recon is estimated to deliver up to 250 miles of all-electric range (depending on trim).
- Battery: A 100.5-kWh battery pack provides the juice for both daily driving and off-road excursions.
- Fast Charging: The 400-volt architecture allows for DC fast-charging, capable of going from 5% to 80% in approximately 28 minutes.
The 2026 Jeep Recon represents a bold new chapter for the iconic brand, blending the silent efficiency of electric power with uncompromised, rugged capability. It’s the future of going anywhere and doing anything—without leaving an emissions footprint.
