Jeep Recon
GreenCars says Jeep is calling the Recon its first 'Trail Rated' electric off-roader, tracing back to 2022 when Jeep released the first images of the on-road-only Wagoneer S alongside another all-new EV that looked like it might live up to the brand's off-road heritage: the Recon. AboutTheCars says the 2026 Jeep Recon represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of off-road vehicles, engineered from the outset as a purpose-built off-roader with 650 hp of instant torque, unlike many electric crossovers that prioritize on-road comfort and luxury, since Jeep didn't dilute the Recon's off-road credentials to accommodate electrification. Car and Driver titled its drive 'The Obstacles of Low Range and High Price,' saying the 2026 Jeep Recon would be an excellent vehicle for forest bathing, not because it's incapable of challenging off-roading, but because its electric powertrain and open-air cabin options are so well suited to gentle exploration, and that Jeep's claim that off-road regen makes the Recon more efficient than it seems on paper may be true, but isn't as good a selling point as a 300-mile range would be.
