REVEALED: Jeep just revealed the all electric recon off roader | Vintage Vibes

The electric 4x4 world has been waiting for something properly rugged – and now Jeep believes it has the answer. The car maker has pulled the covers off the all-new 2026 Jeep Recon, its first fully electric Trail Rated SUV and a model that stays true to Jeep’s go-anywhere heritage while taking a bold step into its all-electric future.

The Recon will begin production early next year, launching first in the US and Canada before rolling out to the rest of the world, including the UK. The Recon promises a traditional Jeep attitude reinvented for a battery-powered era. The numbers are certainly attention-grabbing: 642bhp, 840Nm of instant torque and 0-60mph in as little as 3.6 seconds. Range is estimated at up to 250 miles. As Jeep puts it, the Recon “delivers legendary Jeep 4x4 capability in a fully electrified package”.
