Jeep's New Electric Recon Keeps One Foot on the Trail

· 1 min read

Jeep has put its 2026 Recon EV through a first drive, and Car and Driver comes back with a quick, Trail Rated SUV that carries forward much of the off-road character long associated with the Wrangler. The all-electric model pairs that capability with the benefits of running on battery power, a combination that owners from Aspen to the high country of Colorado who split time between pavement and trail will want to see for themselves.

With reporting from Car and Driver.
