Jeep’s new Wrangler-inspired electric SUV is almost ready for its big debut. The new Jeep Recon EV was spotted with hardly any camouflage, revealing a new Ford Bronco lookalike.
The Recon was first introduced in September 2022 as part of Jeep’s plans to launch four new EVs globally.
With its first global electric SUV, the luxury 2025 Wagoneer S, arriving at dealerships across the US in the next few weeks, we are finally getting a better look at Jeep’s next EV.
Jeep says the Recon is “inspired by the legendary Wrangler.” It will include options like removable doors and windows in tribute to the iconic off-road SUV. The electric SUV will play a big role as Jeep looks to revamp sales in the US.
In fact, with Jeep’s loyal fans, it could be an even bigger hit than the Wagoneer S. We got a sneak peek at the new Recon Moab 4xe after images leaked out of a dealer event last March.
We are now getting a closer look at the production model after the electric SUV was spotted with hardly any camouflage.
Jeep Recon EV looks more like a Ford Bronco
At first glance, the Jeep Recon EV could be mistaken for a Ford Bronco. In the new images from KindelAuto (courtesy of Reddit reader Mr-Ekles), it has a more “sculpted” look than the rugged-designed Wrangler.
Although it maintains much of the design from the concept, the Recon is looking more and more like a Bronco as it approaches production form.
Jeep’s CEO, Antonio Filosa, said the Recon EV, following the Wagoneer S, is expected to launch by the end of 2024.
Last month, Recon models were spotted in transit for the first time near Laredo, Texas. According to TFLCar, the SUVs were reportedly being shipped from the Stellantis Toluca plant in Mexico.
Filosa also confirmed the Recon EV will ride on the STLA Large platform, the same one underpinning the Wagoneer S and the electric Dodge Charger Daytona.
The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S starts at $71,995 with over 300 miles of driving range. It also packs 600 hp and 617 lb-ft of torque.
Jeep’s Recon is expected to start at slightly less, around $60,000. However, more expensive trims, like the Rubicon or Sahara, could cost upwards of $80,000.
Earlier this month, we got our first look at the upcoming Compass EV after Jeep teased the new model in a design sketch. Check back for more info soon as Jeep prepares to launch the Recon EV later this year.
