Jeep Unveils Trail-Rated 2026 Recon EV With 650 HP and $65,000 Starting Price

Jeep positions the off-road EV to support a brand reset during a cooling electric market.

Overview

  • The dual-motor Recon delivers 650 horsepower and 620 lb-ft, with a 0–60 mph estimate of 3.6 seconds and a roughly 100 kWh battery targeting 230–250 miles of range depending on trim.
  • Launch Moab trim earns the Trail Rated badge with 33-inch tires, 9.1 inches of clearance, Selec-Terrain with a Rock mode, an electronic locking rear differential, steel skid plates, and removable doors and glass.
  • A 26-inch digital display area pairs a 12.3-inch cluster with a 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen featuring Trails Offroad mapping and TomTom-powered Dynamic Range Mapping.
  • Jeep lists a $65,000 starting price before destination, plans production in early 2026 at Toluca, initial sales in the U.S. and Canada, DC fast charging from 5% to 80% in about 28 minutes, and a switch to NACS ports in 2026.
  • The debut arrives as EV demand softens following the end of federal purchase incentives and as Stellantis trims some EV investments, with Jeep leadership emphasizing disciplined volume and renewed dealer engagement.
