2027 Jeep Recon EV Release Date & Specs – The Jeep Recon is Jeep’s first fully electric, Trail Rated midsize SUV, designed as an open-air off-roader with Wrangler-inspired capability. For U.S. buyers, the vehicle launched as a 2026 model year and became available to order in mid-to-late June 2026. References to a “2027 Jeep Recon EV” typically reflect continued availability into the 2027 model year, dealer listings, or the European market launch planned for early 2027.
Official Jeep and Stellantis materials, along with reports from Car and Driver, Electrek, and Wikipedia, confirm the Recon’s North American debut and key details as of mid-2026.
2026/2027 Jeep Recon EV Release Date in the USA
Production of the Jeep Recon began in early 2026 at the Toluca Car Assembly plant in Mexico. U.S. and Canadian dealerships started receiving vehicles around late June 2026, with the model becoming available to order at that time. Jeep’s official site lists the 2026 Recon as currently available (with limited quantities noted in some messaging).
As of August 2026, U.S. shoppers can find 2026 Recon models at dealers. The 2027 model year is expected to continue the same core vehicle with potential minor updates or expanded trim availability, though Jeep has not announced major changes specific to 2027 at the time of writing. European sales are targeted for early 2027.
Buyers interested in a Recon should contact local Jeep dealers for current inventory, as initial availability focused on the Moab launch trim.
Pricing for the Jeep Recon EV
The 2026 Jeep Recon launched with the Moab trim as the sole initial offering. Starting MSRP is approximately $66,995–$68,990 (figures vary slightly by source and configuration; as-shown pricing has appeared around $68,990–$69,585). This excludes taxes, title, registration, and options.
Jeep positions the Recon as the only 650-horsepower SUV under $70,000 MSRP at launch. Future trims may expand the lineup and pricing range. Federal EV tax credits or other incentives may apply depending on eligibility, battery sourcing, and buyer circumstances—check current IRS guidelines and dealer offers.
Key Specs and Performance
The Recon uses dual electric motors (front and rear) producing a combined 650 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque, with standard all-wheel drive. Jeep estimates 0–60 mph in as little as 3.6 seconds.
It rides on the STLA Large unibody platform (shared with the Wagoneer S). Key capability figures include roughly 9.1 inches of ground clearance, 33-inch tires on the Moab, Selec-Terrain system (with Rock mode exclusive to Moab), electronic locking rear differential on Moab, and Trail Rated status—the only fully electric vehicle to earn that badge at launch.
Towing capacity is rated up to about 3,300 pounds with the Trailer Tow package.
Range, Battery, and Charging
The Recon packs a roughly 100.5-kWh battery. Jeep initially estimated up to 230 miles for the Moab trim and up to 250 miles for other future trims. Official EPA estimates for the launch Moab settled at approximately 222 miles.
It uses a 400-volt architecture. DC fast charging is claimed to take the battery from about 20–80% (or similar low-to-high states) in around 28 minutes. Level 2 (240-volt) home charging is estimated at roughly 7 hours for a significant charge; Level 1 is much slower.
Design and Open-Air Features
The Recon stands out as the only fully electric utility vehicle with removable doors, removable rear-quarter glass, removable swing-gate glass, and an available Sky One-Touch power top. It features an illuminated seven-slot grille, square taillights, and a swing-out tailgate with full-size spare.
Interior highlights include a 12.3-inch digital driver display, 14.5-inch central touchscreen (Uconnect system with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support), and materials suited to outdoor use. Cargo space is about 30.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats plus a small frunk.
Availability and What U.S. Buyers Should Know
U.S. customers can currently shop the 2026 Recon (primarily Moab) at Jeep dealers, with limited early quantities. The vehicle is Trail Rated and marketed for both on-road driving and serious off-road use. Range is more modest than some competing electric SUVs, reflecting the priority on capability, open-air design, and performance.

The Recon represents Jeep’s push into purpose-built electric off-roaders for American adventurers seeking zero-emission capability without fully abandoning the brand’s open-air, Trail Rated heritage.
