2027 Jeep Recon Preview: What We Know So Far About Jeep’s Electric Trail Rated SUV
Jeep’s first all-electric Trail Rated SUV is here. High Desert drivers are already asking what comes next, so here is what is confirmed today.
Model-year basis for this page: Every figure below comes from the 2026 Jeep Recon Moab, the only Recon Jeep has released. Jeep has not announced 2027 pricing, trims, or specifications. Treat these numbers as the current baseline, not as confirmed 2027 figures. Our sales team can tell you what Jeep has confirmed for 2027 at the time you reach out.
What powers the Jeep Recon?
Jeep puts an Electric Drive Module on each axle. Together they produce 650 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque, according to Jeep. Each module is rated at 250 kW and pairs an electric motor, gearing, and power electronics in one compact unit, per the official Jeep Recon specification sheet.
Electric motors deliver full torque from zero RPM, so low-speed throttle response is precise. A driver crawling over loose rock can meter out small increments of power without waiting for engine revs to build.
The Recon uses a single-speed transfer case with full-time active four-wheel drive and no low range, as Jeep’s specifications confirm. Traction is managed by the Selec-Terrain Traction Management System. It offers Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud modes, plus a Rock mode on the Moab trim.
The rear axle carries a standard electronic locking differential on a 15:1 axle ratio. Engaged, it forces equal wheel speed across both rear wheels. The front axle runs an open differential on an 11:1 ratio with automatic disconnects at each wheel end, which cuts drag and preserves range on pavement.

Battery, estimated range, and charging
The Recon runs a 100.5-kWh lithium-ion pack on a 400-volt architecture, as listed in Jeep’s specifications. On the Moab trim, Jeep gives an estimated range of 230 miles, though the EPA’s official rating for the Recon Moab is 222 miles of combined range. Jeep has also listed up to 250 miles of estimated range for a late-availability trim, but that trim has not been named, priced, or assigned a model year.
For errands and highway driving around Victorville, 222 miles of EPA-estimated range covers routine days without a mid-day charge stop. Edmunds also reports Jeep’s 230-mile estimate.
Charging times
| Charging Method | Charge Window | Approximate Time |
|---|---|---|
| Level 3 DC fast charging (public) | 5% to 80% | About 28 minutes |
| Level 2 home charging (240V) | 5% to 80% | 6.8 hours |
| Level 1 household outlet (120V) | 5% to 80% | About 52 hours |
On a DC fast charger, Jeep also cites roughly 100 miles of estimated range in about 10 minutes. That makes a longer High Desert trip workable with one planned stop.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
What makes the Recon Trail Rated?
The Recon is the only fully electric SUV to carry a Trail Rated badge. Jeep awards the badge after testing in five areas: traction, water fording, maneuverability, ground clearance, and articulation.
Underbody protection is substantial. High-strength steel shields cover the battery pack, both Electric Drive Modules, and the power electronics, per Jeep. Side rock rails are available to protect the sills on tight trails, as CarsDirect notes.
Suspension is a short-long arm setup up front with an integral link rear. Combined with the standard 33-inch all-terrain tires on the Moab trim, it delivers the 9.1 inches of ground clearance listed below.
Open-air freedom is the design signature. The Recon is the only fully electric vehicle built with removable doors, removable rear quarter glass, and removable swing gate glass. All three come off without tools, according to Jeep. A dual-pane sunroof is standard, and a Sky One-Touch Power Top is available as an alternative.

Cabin, technology, and safety
The Recon seats five. Seating surfaces use Capri, a non-leather synthetic material. An Alpine premium audio system is standard, and Jeep moved the speakers beneath the seats so sound quality holds up with the doors removed.
The Moab trim also arrives with a full standard driver-assist roster, which Consumer Reports documented after testing the vehicle. Active Driving Assist is a Level 2 system that combines adaptive cruise control with lane centering for highway driving.
