Learn more about what this all-new, electrified, and adventurous sport-ute has in store below, including when it's expected to hit our showroom in Columbia, IL, and how you can be among the first to take one home from Clement CDJR Columbia.
Jeep Recon Exterior
The 2026 Jeep Recon promises incredible performance, both on and off the trail. It will also look good along the way – this brand-new midsize all-electric SUV draws design inspiration from the Wrangler, an iconic model that many drivers instantly recognize. As the first fully electric utility vehicle with removable exterior panels,1 you get the classic wind-in-your-hair Jeep experience without having to spend a fortune at the pumps in Columbia, IL.
The Recon will also be available in various colors, such as these:
- '41 (a green shade that evokes the company's origins of creating vehicles for the Allies in WWII)
- Copper Shino
- Ceramic Gray
- Red Hot
- Silver Zynith
- Hydro Blue
- Bright White
- Diamond Black
- Joose (a bright orange hue)
Resilient design elements on the Jeep Recon exterior, like high ground clearance, underbody skid plates, and a 24-inch water-fording depth, make this EV a true off-roading machine.
Jeep Recon Interior
The 2026 Jeep Recon is a two-row SUV with seating for up to five people. The car is well-equipped; it features a 14.5-inch touchscreen that is reportedly the largest found standard in a Jeep automobile.2 You can use this large display to easily put your favorite music or podcasts on – and you'll enjoy them even more than usual, thanks to the car's Alpine® premium audio system, which has 11 speakers and a subwoofer.
The spacious interior of the 2026 Jeep Recon is also ready to haul plenty of cargo. With 30.3 cubic feet of space behind the second row, you can easily bring luggage along for a weekend trip. Folding down the back seats unlocks a total of 65.9 cubic feet of storage, which is enough for a week's worth of camping supplies or some pieces of furniture.
While the exact features found in the new Recon will likely vary according to the yet-to-be-revealed Jeep Recon trims, we do expect that some models will showcase noteworthy amenities, such as heated seats and leather upholstery. One reason we believe this is that top-tier models across our selection of new Jeep vehicles have similar appointments.
Jeep Recon Specs
While there is still plenty to learn about the 2026 Jeep Recon specs, what we have seen so far is quite promising. The manufacturer notes that the vehicle will make up to 650 horsepower – more than enough muscle to send you soaring down the roads in Columbia, IL. We do suspect that the car may be available with multiple powertrains, so you may find models with lower horsepower ratings.
The 2026 Jeep Recon is expected to be able to leap from zero to 60 mph in as little as 3.6 seconds. This blistering acceleration is sure to impress your passengers – and anyone who watches as you merge onto I-255. The Jeep team has explained that one has to have Sport Mode turned on in order to achieve this 0-60 mph time.
Another area where we have some information is the Jeep Recon charging time. The company has announced that the vehicle is able to charge from 5-80% in just 28 minutes when using appropriate DC fast-charging technology.3 Pair that quick replenishment time with a manufacturer-estimated 230 miles of maximum range,4 and you can take the Recon on a cross-country trip without range and charging anxiety.
The new Jeep Recon will have standard four-wheel drive, allowing you to journey far into the wilds. The Jeep Recon also comes with the Selec-Terrain Traction Management System, which offers five driving modes:
- Sport
- Sand
- Rock
- Snow
- Auto
This feature allows you to optimize your driving experience, whether you're dealing with snow in December or crawling across sheer rock during a summer adventure. When you're ready to adventure in a vehicle that does not require gasoline, reach out to us for the latest details about the forthcoming Jeep Recon.
