What can you expect from the new 2026 Jeep Recon?
The brand new 2026 Jeep Recon, the all battery electric off-road SUV, marks a first for Jeep. Competing with the next generation of electric off-road SUVs like the GMC Hummer EV, Scout Traveler, and Rivian R1S, the new Jeep Recon aims to be a sustainable alternative to off-road icons like the Wrangler.
We expect it to have a body style similar to a sleek, durable Wrangler, with all-wheel drive (AWD), removable doors, and the option of a hard or soft roof. The Jeep Recon’s exterior is expected to feature LED fog lamps, headlights, taillights, possibly the available Integrated Off-Road Camera, and the signature Jeep logo. The 2026 Recon is expected to be the off-road Jeep EV of your dreams with alloy wheels and all-season, mud-terrain, and off-road tires.
The 2026 Jeep Recon with the Trail Rated badge will come on the MOAB trim and be part of the Off-Road Packages, certifying its legendary Jeep capability. You can also expect an off-road tuned suspension, water fording abilities, high ground clearance, and strategic water sealing with easy drainage to take your 2026 Jeep Recon anywhere the Wrangler can go and beyond.
We also anticipate the new 2026 Jeep Recon to be packed with technology and convenience features, including large digital displays, a likely 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, auxiliary switches, USB ports, power outlets, and plenty of storage options throughout the interior.
What is the expected range of the 2026 Jeep Recon?
The 2026 Jeep Recon will be built on the Stellantis modular STLA Large platform and come with an all-electric Jeep Brand battery, like the Wagoneer S, as Jeep transitions into its next era of focusing on electric vehicles.
Since the 2026 Recon has yet to be tested for EPA fuel economy, we don’t have official driving ranges on a fully charged battery, but if the Jeep Recon is anything like the Wagoneer S, then the range could be close to or over 300 miles.
Depending on the size and weight of the 2026 Jeep Recon, it might surpass the EPA estimates of similar vehicles and exceed the combined 93 MPGe for city and highway driving. Your Jeep Recon won’t require oil changes, and depending on the charger level, charging your EV battery can take anywhere from 15-60 minutes to 8-10 hours.
When is the new 2026 Jeep Recon ready to buy?
If you weren’t ready, start your engines and countdown timers because production is moving along, and we expect the new 2026 Jeep Recon all-electric vehicle (EV) to arrive by the end of the year. With just months to prepare, ask yourself, are you ready for the Recon?
