The Jeep Recon is a forthcoming battery electricmid-size SUV[2] expected to enter production by Jeep in early 2026.[3] Presented in a set of images in September 2022 alongside two other Jeep models, it is an off-road-oriented SUV that is heavily inspired by the Wrangler, and will be sold alongside it.[4] A Wrangler variant was previously marketed as the Recon.[5]
The Recon is scheduled for production at the Toluca Car Assembly plant in Toluca, Mexico, with manufacturing expected to commence in 2026 with arrival at North American dealerships, followed by other regions.[3]
Design and features
The exterior uses an illuminated seven-slot grille, Wrangler-like square protruding taillights, bumpers with prominent tow hooks, and a swing-out tailgate carrying a standard full-size spare. Standard equipment is projected to include removable doors and a dual-pane power-opening sunroof, with an available Sky One-Touch Power Top. The Recon uses a frame-like design for the tiered center console and prominent grab handles with exposed rivets. A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 14.5-inch central touchscreen are standard with on-screen climate controls complemented by volume and tuning knobs.[8]
Moab trim
The Moab trim uses most design elements used by the regular Recon. However it comes with wider fender flares, available rock rails, and Jeep badges with topographical etching.[8]
Moab-exclusive features
The Moab trim has an electronic locking differential at the rear with 15:1 final drive ratio. The front differential is still an open differential. The locker is activated by a switch on the dashboard.[8] Jeep's Selec-Terrain management system has a Rock mode exclusive to the Moab.[9]
Powertrain
The Recon uses a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive layout producing 650 horsepower and 620 pound-feet of torque. A 100 kWh battery and a rear locking differential comes standard.[10] All trims besides the Moab get a range of 250 miles, the Moab gets a range of 230 miles.[11] The battery of the Recon uses nickel manganese cobalt chemistry. It also uses a 400-volt architecture.[12]
