FREEDOM
You’re not the type of person who is easily contained. The Jeep Recon places freedom front and center, thanks to its open-air configurations. Experience a more immersive commute while reducing your carbon footprint.
Look, Ma. No Gas Needed
The Jeep Recon was designed with you in mind. Equal parts Trail Rated® and electric, this SUV allows you to experience more of what Mother Nature has to offer without producing any tailpipe emissions. Traveling farther off the beaten path without having a significant environmental impact? Now that’s the ultimate win-win experience. Even without an engine, the Jeep Recon offers impressive capabilities, both on your daily commute and when heading out for a weekend outing:
- Horsepower: 650 HP
- Quickest Acceleration (0-60 MPH): 3.6 sec.
- EPA-estimated max driving range: 230 miles
With at-home and on-the-go charging options, the Recon is always ready for your next adventure. Plug your SUV into a Level 2 charger for an optimized overnight charging session, or visit a nearby public charging station to charge from 5% to 80% in under 30 minutes.
No Roads Necessary
The Trail Rated® badge isn’t handed out lightly. Before earning this accolade, a vehicle must pass a series of extreme tests to ensure it excels in the five key areas of off-roading: water fording, articulation, ground clearance, traction, and maneuverability. The Jeep Recon passed every test with flying colors. As a result, you can make your own roads without ever looking back:
- Max Water Fording: 24 inches
- Max Ground Clearance: 9.1 inches
- Approach Angle: 33.8 degrees
- Departure Angle: 33.1 degrees
Jeep knows that the best excursions are full-body sensory experiences. For that reason, they made the Recon the first-ever and only fully electric utility vehicle with open-air freedom. While some vehicles come with a panoramic roof, the Recon removes it fully with the optional Sky One-Touch® Power Top.
The doors and windows are also removable. The best part? No tools are needed, allowing you to get up close with nature whenever the mood strikes.
VERSATILITY
Weekend outings may be a large part of your adventurous lifestyle, but your vehicle needs to be fine-tuned for everyday use. The Jeep Recon offers the versatility you need, providing the space and comfort features you want and need.
Load Up & Go
What’s on your calendar for this upcoming weekend? Are you making a bulk grocery store trip or traveling to a remote campsite for an unplugged weekend? Regardless of what you have planned, the Jeep Recon is ready. This SUV offers plenty of spaciousness, with a cargo space range of 30.3 to 65.9 cubic feet, depending on the rear-seat configuration.
Beyond offering the space needed for your dynamic lifestyle, the Recon includes innovative cargo solutions to help make outings easier, including:
- Cargo tie-down loops
- Storage bin
- Modular doors with storage panels
Even the center console is designed to maximize space. Designed with two tiers and a pass-through feature, larger items have a little extra space inside the cabin. This feature also helps to organize the space more effectively, allowing you to bring all your essentials along for the ride while reducing clutter.
Uncover New Roads
With its all-electric capabilities and Trail Rated® badge, the Jeep Recon is engineered to help you find your new favorite way home from work. Equipped with the legendary Jeep 4x4 capability, the Recon makes easy work of any road surface.
Beyond its versatile capabilities, the Recon's cabin comforts offer a space where you can relax, even on long trips. Standard heated front seats not only provide temperature support but also help prevent driving fatigue. Share this level of comfort with all riders by upgrading the cabin to include optional heated rear seats. Ventilated front seats are also available.
With these comfort touches, you may find yourself taking the scenic route home from work. A built-in wireless phone charging pad keeps your device charged, even with a full schedule. As if you needed more reasons to drive the Jeep Recon, these premium touches keep you comfortable mile after mile.
CONTEMPORARY
You and your Jeep Recon will embark on countless commutes together. This SUV was strategically designed to align with your current and future needs, including a full suite of cutting-edge technology that helps keep you connected and protected everywhere you travel.
Connected From Anywhere
At the heart of the Jeep Recon sits the Uconnect® 5C NAV infotainment suite, which includes a cinematic 14.5-inch touchscreen display —the largest touchscreen area ever in a Jeep Brand vehicle.* This crisp, full-color display makes viewing driving data and settings easy. This screen is only the start of the Recon’s digital potential:
- Over 26 inches of digital screen space
- Wireless smartphone integration
- 11-speaker Alpine® Premium Audio System+
The Recon also features multiple charging ports, including two auxiliary power outlets and a 115-volt outlet located in the cargo. These outlets can help power your laptop on those mobile workdays or campsite lights. The technology of the Recon is as versatile as its capabilities.
Reset Your Expectations
The Jeep Recon is dedicated to making every outing as safe as possible. Equipped with over 170 standard safety and security features, the Recon ensures total visibility and confidence wherever you go. Intersection Collision Assist helps you navigate busy intersections, while Blind-Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection assists with lane changes.
Since the Recon is built for all roads, Rough Road Cruise Control delivers the familiar capabilities of highway cruise control on unforgiving dirt paths. The Selec-Terrain® Traction Management System can enhance confidence when traveling off the beaten path. Each of the five selectable modes automatically adjusts the Recon's performance to improve traction on various road types, including sand and rock.
No matter where you go, the Recon has the safety features you need to get to your destination safely and confidently.
