The 2026 Jeep Recon has been unveiled as the second all-electric SUV from the Stellantis-owned brand. Billed as the company’s only true off-roader EV, it is based on a dedicated architecture rather than being adapted from an ICE platform. With production set to begin early next year at the Toluca Assembly Plant, the initial launches are scheduled for the US and Canada markets ahead of a broader global rollout in Q4 2026.
