Jeep Recon

The 2026 SUV market features a notable redesign with the hybrid-only Toyota RAV4 as well as all-new EVs like the Rivian R2 and Subaru Trailseeker. Favorites like the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride also get significant redesigns.

From luxury models to off-roaders, many of the new electric vehicles at the 2026 Chicago Auto Show are SUVs.

Jeep’s and Rivian’s coming EVs are closely matched in more than one metric but are far apart in one key area.

Based on the same platform as the Wagoneer S, the Recon offers more usability than a Wrangler and is about as close to an all-electric one as you’re gonna get for now.

The Jeep Recon is all-new for 2026, giving the brand a second electric-vehicle entry into the market.
