Jeep has unveiled the Recon, a purpose-built all-electric SUV with which the automaker is charging into the future. Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf said: “With the Jeep Recon, we’re proving that electrification isn’t just compatible with off-road excellence, it can elevate it, delivering instant torque, precision control and a quieter, more connected driving experience that’s uniquely Jeep.”

The Recon is equipped with a duo of electric motors, sited on the fore and aft axles, respectively. The twin-motor arrangement produces a combined system output of 478kW and 840Nm of torque, delivered to the road via all four corners. According to Jeep, these figures allow the emissions-free SUV to complete the 0-100km/h sprint in as little as 3.7 seconds.

The Recon’s electric motors are coupled with a 100kWh battery pack. According to Jeep, the 400V item allows for an operating range of up to 402km (depending on the trim grade) when fully charged.

Measuring 4 882mm in length and 1 894mm in width, the Recon’s boxy bodywork is similar in size to the Wrangler. The wheelbase spans 3 007mm. Specified in Moab trim, the Recon offers 239mm of ground clearance, and approach and departure angles of 34 and 34.5 degrees, respectively.

Stepping inside, the cabin plays host to a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display and 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment – the latter running on the carmaker’s Uconnect 5 software.

According to the Stellantis-owned US automaker, the Recon is a bold step forward for the Jeep brand. Staying true to the firm’s core values of freedom, adventure and capability, the firm says the Recon is purpose-built and ready to take enthusiasts into the future without compromising the performance they expect from a Jeep.

The Recon will be built at Jeep’s Toluca-based assembly facility in Mexico, with production scheduled to kick off in 2026.
