The Recon is an electrified leap into off-road freedom, but keeps you checking the battery gauge.
Doors-off freedom · Quick off the line
Limited driving range · Hefty curb weight
The 2026 Jeep Recon is Jeep's bold entry into the electric off-road segment, and it's a compelling blend of classic Jeep character and modern EV technology. With its rugged looks and the ability to pop off the doors, it channels the spirit of adventure every Jeep enthusiast craves. However, the Recon's short driving range leaves us hesitant to wander too far off the beaten path without a charging station in sight. If you're a weekend warrior who sticks close to civilization, this electric Jeep might just be the perfect off-road companion.
Our pick: Adventure Package ($53,000)
vs. 2026 Nissan ARIYA: While the ARIYA offers a more conventional electric driving experience with better range, the Recon brings unique off-road capability.
