The New 2026 Jeep Recon is an Adventure Ready Electric SUV

October 27th, 2026 by

When tackling the backwoods, you want a vehicle that is highly capable to tackle the trails with confidence and zero emissions.

Jeep understood what you want. Which is why they created the 2026 Recon. It retains the core of a Jeep through a battery-electric driveline.

The 2026 Recon is the only fully electric Trail Rated SUV available in the U.S.A. Taking what Jeep has learned over 85 years with the Civilian Jeep, Wrangler, and Gladiator, the 2026 Recon delivers on rugged capability, driven by a battery.

Tackling the backwoods requires a strong driveline. The 2026 Recon’s two-motor electric drive modules are mounted at ach axle. It is rated at 670 horsepower and 620 pound-feet of instant torque. That’s more than enough power to get through the roughest terrain. These two motors are fed by a 100-kilowatt-hour, 400-volt battery pack, with a rated range of 240 miles. It can also go at a rated 0-60 MPH time of 3.6 seconds.

Keeping the drive system in line is the exclusive Select-Terrain traction management system. The driver selects the appropriate drive modes to meet the conditions you put the vehicle onto. Drive modes include Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand. The Moab trim adds a Rock mode for tougher terrain.

The reason you owned a CJ, Wrangler, or Gladiator is the freedom to go anywhere any way you want. The 2026 Recon has been shaped to be as iconic with a removable doors, swing gate glass and rear quarter glass. You do not need a tool kit to remove these parts. It is also a quick change to open up the great outdoors.

The same themes continue inside the 2026 Recon. It is a roomy place for five people to enjoy the ride, wrapped in rugged handcrafted materials, clever storage solutions, and customizable touches that speak to your love of Jeep. It is also engineered to be safe, with more than 170 standard safety and security features.

In a recent drive report, Car and Driver praised its agility and performance. They also liked its “open-cabin experience,” which they think will attract you to this electric SUV. They added that the 2026 Recon is a “great setup for city cruising with off-road swagger.”
