The Jeep Recon is a battery electric mid-size SUV [2] produced by Jeep in 2025. Revealed 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. [3] The Recon name was previously used for a variant of the Wrangler. [4]

Contents

The Jeep Recon is based on the STLA Large platform, with fully independent suspension. [5] The vehicle will have removable doors, retractable roof, electronic locking differentials, Selec-Terrain traction management functions, skid plates, tow hooks, off-road-rated tires, and underbody protection. [6] It will be produced in North America and will be available for the global market. [2] [3]

Production and release

The Jeep Recon is slated for production at the Toluca Car Assembly plant in Toluca, Mexico, with manufacturing expected to commence in 2025. The vehicle is anticipated to arrive in U.S. dealerships in late 2025. [7]

Design and features

The exterior uses an illuminated seven-slot grille, Wrangler-like square taillights protruding from the body, chunky bumpers with prominent tow hooks, and a swing-out tailgate with a standard full-size spare mounted to it. As with the Wrangler, the doors are removable. It comes standard with a dual-pane power-opening sunroof, but the Sky One-Touch Power Top is available. 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, the latter being Jeep's largest ever, and while all the climate controls are in the screen, physical volume and tuning knobs are also standard. [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]
