Meet The First Fully Electric Trail-Rated SUV: The 2026 Jeep Recon

Jeep has been an SUV innovator for decades, but now the brand is blazing new trails in the EV space.

With the release of the 2026 Jeep Recon, they have officially blurred the boundaries between electric innovation and legendary off-road capability. How? Well, the Recon is the first and only fully electric Trail-Rated SUV. 

With a dedicated electric architecture, this groundbreaking vehicle combines Jeep’s rugged DNA with all-electric power, resulting in an SUV that’s sure to impress both Jeep fans and eco-friendly EV enthusiasts.

At Santee Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we’re excited to bring you the inside scoop on everything that makes the 2026 Jeep Recon a game-changer in the world of electric SUVs.

Electrified Power and Capability

Once upon a time, it was thought that EVs couldn’t be as powerful as their gas-powered counterparts. 

Luckily, that’s history, especially if we’re talking about the new Jeep Recon. 

This electric SUV delivers a jaw-dropping 650 horsepower and 620 lb.-ft. of instant torque, launching from 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds. 

With an estimated all-electric range of up to 250 miles, the Recon gives you the freedom to explore further without range anxiety. Whether you’re heading out on a weekend camping trip or making your daily commute, you can get where you’re going without needing to stop to charge up every day.

What truly sets the Recon apart is its standard all-electric four-wheel drive system, engineered to deliver traction across any terrain. Paired with Jeep’s legendary Selec-Terrain® traction management system, multiple drive modes help you conquer mud, rocks, sand, snow, and more. 

Built for Your Wildest Dreams 

Whether you’re heading to Santee State Park or to the coast for a beach weekend, the all-new 2026 Jeep Recon is what you’ve been waiting for. Here’s what makes it the ultimate adventure companion:

• Iconic Open-Air Freedom: Experience the great outdoors like never before with removable doors, rear quarter glass, and swing gate glass. You won’t feel this kind of freedom by simply rolling down your windows.
• Off-Road Focused Design: Every inch of the Recon is designed to help you feel confident on uneven trails and backcountry roads. With protective skid plates, robust underbody armor, and impressive ground clearance, this electric SUV makes it easy to tackle campsites, river crossings, and mountain paths.
• Comfortable, Functional Interior: Roomy, rugged, and ready for anything, the Recon’s cabin delivers both durability and refinement. Clever storage solutions keep you organized, no matter what you’re loading up.
• Trail Rated® Ruggedness: The Recon is the only electric SUV of its kind to wear the coveted Trail Rated® badge. It earned its stripes through rigorous testing across five critical off-road capabilities: traction, water fording, maneuverability, articulation, and ground clearance. When you see that badge, you know the Recon means business.
