Electric Jeep Recon Unveiled: 650 Horsepower and 530 km Range

Jeep carries its off-road tradition into the future with the electric Recon. With high torque, advanced off-road features, and removable parts, the Recon takes the stage as the first true electric adventure SUV.

Jeep has finally revealed the fully electric Recon model. First announced in 2022, the model will hit the production line in the first quarter of next year and will be available for sale in Europe towards the end of the same year.

What does the new Jeep Recon offer? Described as the “electric soulmate of the Wrangler,” the model will hit the roads as the brand’s first off-road focused electric vehicle, following the Wagoneer S and Avenger. Producing a total of 650 horsepower and 840 Nm of torque via two electric motors, the vehicle stands as concrete proof of Jeep’s claim that “electrification takes nothing away from off-road capability; on the contrary, it takes it further,” thanks to instant torque and precise control.

The Recon positions itself close to the Wrangler in terms of design and geometry. It brings Jeep’s off-road capability together with electricity by offering a 34-degree approach angle, 34.5-degree departure angle, and 23.5-degree breakover angle. When combined with a double-wishbone front and independent rear suspension system and off-road tires, it reaches a ground clearance of 238 mm.

With the addition of a locking differential and Rock mode, the Selec-Terrain system ensures the Recon is not deprived of the existing Jeep range’s off-road capability. The 100 kWh battery is reinforced against impacts with steel underbody protection to suit this purpose. Jeep states that the Recon offers a driving range of up to 530 km according to WLTP. The STLA Large platform’s 400V infrastructure provides fast charging support up to 160 kW. The model also reinterprets Jeep’s legendary “open-air” identity in the electric age. In the model where all doors are removable, the front and rear glass can be folded.

Unlike the purebred Jeep character on the exterior, the cabin structure has become distinctly digitalized. A new 14.5-inch multimedia screen takes over many functions, including air conditioning, while a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel completes this structure. Durable, scratch-resistant surfaces are used on the floor and panels throughout the cabin.

The new Jeep Recon will be available for sale first in the USA and then in Europe towards the end of 2026. The model’s starting price has been announced as $65,000.
