Jeep is preparing for the official reveal of the Recon electric SUV, now due in spring 2026. Built on the STLA Large platform, the model had been expected in 2024, but the schedule was pushed back. Company leadership characterizes the Recon as an interesting product while signaling uncertainty about blockbuster status: a high price could narrow its audience, as the Wagoneer S already illustrates.

Sales of the larger Wagoneer S have been soft despite heavy discounts and zero-percent financing, underlining how premium EVs remain a niche. Even so, Jeep is sticking with electrification and views the Recon as a key piece of its future lineup. According to industry sources, the model could offer about 560 km of range with a starting price around $60,000. The cautious tone feels warranted in a segment where excitement often outpaces demand.

In parallel, the company is working on the next-generation Wrangler, which may gain a fully electric version and even a variant with extended range.
