All-new 2026 Jeep Recon electric SUV breaks cover with dual-motor AWD and 450 km range

Published on: Nov 19, 2025 05:23 pm IST

The 2026 Jeep Recon EV has broken cover as the brand's second all-electric SUV, featuring dual-motor AWD with 450 km claimed range.

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.

These motors are supplied by a 100 kWh battery pack that allows for an estimated driving range of up to 450 km. Four-wheel drive is standard with Jeep’s Selec-Terrain traction management system, offering five modes for varying terrain conditions. The SUV further boasts an electronic locking differential, Selec-Speed low-speed control, and up to 9.4 inches of ground clearance, highlighting its off-road prowess.

The Recon will initially launch in the Moab trim, which comes with Gloss Black detailing on the front and rear fascias, fender flares, side rock rails, and exclusive Jeep badging with topographical details. The SUV carries over characteristic design cues alongside modern, EV-specific elements, including an illuminated seven-slot grille, U-shaped DRLs, and Wrangler-inspired LED tail-lamps. Staying true to the open-air off-roading experience of classic Jeeps, the new Recon will come with removable doors, rear quarter glass and swing-gate glass.
