Jeep Confirms 2026 Recon EV, Trail-Rated Off-Roader Launching Early 2026 at $66,995

Reporters question real-world range and software maturity on Stellantis’ STLA Large platform.

Overview

  • Production begins in early 2026 with initial sales in the U.S. and Canada, following earlier delays and cancellation rumors.
  • The mid-size SUV rides on the STLA Large architecture with a 100 kWh, 400-volt pack, dual-motor AWD, 650 hp and 620 lb-ft, and an estimated range of up to 250 miles.
  • Off-road kit includes an electronic locking rear differential, Selec-Speed control, underbody steel shielding, and a Moab trim with 33-inch tires, 9.1 inches of clearance, and a 15:1 rear final drive ratio.
  • Jeep says the Recon will carry a Trail Rated badge and offer fully removable doors and rear-quarter glass, a rarity among EVs.
  • Charging from 5% to 80% is quoted at 28 minutes on DC fast chargers, while reviewers caution that aggressive tires and gearing may cut real-world range.
