Jeep officially unveiled the 2026 Jeep Recon, the industry’s first and only all-electric SUV to receive a Trail Rated rating, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to uniting electrification, off-road capability and outdoor freedom. The launch took place on November 18, 2025, in Auburn Hills, Michigan.
Designed from the ground up for adventure, the new Jeep Recon utilizes a dedicated electrical architecture, combining power and all-electric all-wheel drive. The model delivers 650 horsepower, 620 lb.-ft. of instant torque and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds.
The estimated range is up to 250 miles in all-electric mode, depending on the trim version.
The Recon is equipped with the exclusive Selec-Terrain system, offering five driving modes designed to tackle severe weather, technical trails or everyday roads.
