Jeep officially unveiled the Jeep Recon 2026, the industry’s first and only Trail Rated certified fully electric SUV. This model is the result of combining the brand philosophy of electrification, off-road performance, and open driving freedom, and debuted in Auburn Hills, Michigan on November 18, 2025.
The new Jeep Recon uses a dedicated electric architecture designed from the ground up for adventure, combining powerful power with a fully electric all-wheel drive system. This model delivers 650 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of instant torque, and accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds.
Although it varies depending on the trim, the expected range when fully electric is up to 250 miles.
Recon is equipped with Jeep’s exclusive Selec-Terrain system, which offers five driving modes designed to handle harsh climates, technical trails and everyday roads.
The first electric SUV with removable doors: complete open air freedom
The Jeep Recon 2026 is the only fully electric SUV on the market designed not only with removable doors, but also with removable tailgate glass and rear glass. According to the brand, all parts can be removed in minutes without tools, embodying the open air experience that is Jeep’s core DNA.
Robust design inspired by brand heritage
Combining classic elements with modern electric innovation, the Recon has a design reminiscent of Jeep’s legendary models. The angular lines, strong presence, and unique lighting signature combine to create a Jeep-like look ready for all on- and off-road journeys.
Spacious, craftsmanship-focused, technology-focused interior
The interior of the Jeep Recon 2026 was designed with both long-distance adventures and everyday comfort in mind. The SUV has the following features:
-
- Materials with durability and craftsmanship;
- Smart storage space;
- Customized details;
- Over 170 standard safety and protection features.
Jeep emphasizes that the Recon is designed for the lifestyle of adventurers who seek freedom, space, and the toughness to withstand any terrain.
A new milestone for the Jeep brand
Jeep Brand CEO Bob Broderdorf emphasizes that this launch is a historic turning point.
“Jeep Recon 2026 is a bold leap forward for the brand. We have stayed true to our core values of freedom, adventure and performance. Recon is purpose-built for the pioneer and proves that electrification and off-roading go beyond simply coexisting and take the Jeep experience to the next level.”
Broderdorf added that instant torque and precise control further enhance the Recon’s performance on rough trails and provide a quieter, more connected ride.
