The Jeep Recon is a forthcoming battery electric mid-size SUV[2] expected to enter production by Jeep in early 2026.[3] Presented in a set of images in September 2022 alongside two other Jeep models, it is an off-road-oriented SUV that is heavily inspired by the Wrangler, and will be sold alongside it.[4] A Wrangler variant was previously marketed as the Recon.[5]
The Recon is based on Stellantis' STLA Large platform, with fully independent suspension.[6] The vehicle will have removable doors, retractable roof, electronic locking differentials, Selec-Terrain traction management functions, skid plates, tow hooks, off-road-rated tires, and underbody protection.[7] It will be produced in North America and will be available for the global market.[2][4]

Design and features
