Jeep Recon Moab EV revealed with black paint, black wheels, and off-road-ready exterior.
STLA Large platform supports 480-kilometre range and trail-capable electric drivetrain.
Willys and Overland versions should join Moab trim for 2026 model year launch.
The Jeep Recon Moab EV has been seen nearly camo-free in a blacked-out form, offering an early look at the off-road electric SUV ahead of its official debut later this year. Shared by members of the Jeep Recon Forum, the sighting reveals a quite nearly production-ready appearance, including black paint, wheels, and dark window tint.

While it is not intended to replace the Wrangler, the Recon draws design cues from Jeep’s iconic off-roader, including optional removable doors and windows, and a boxy stance designed for trail performance.
Built on Stellantis’ STLA Large platform, the Recon is expected to offer a driving range of at least 480 kilometres. The Moab trim is expected to include enhanced off-road capabilities and appears largely unchanged from earlier leaked images seen in 2023, although it is slightly more refined. In a recent sighting, the vehicle was shown next to a Chevrolet Equinox, demonstrating its taller, more upright profile.
Jeep has positioned the Recon as a direct competitor in the off-road EV segment, targeting models like the Ford Bronco. In a Super Bowl advertisement earlier this year, actor Harrison Ford appeared in a segment where a Recon outpaces a Bronco on a trail. “This Jeep makes me happy, even though my name is Ford,” he joked at the end of the spot.
Production details remain limited, but Jeep has confirmed the Recon will be capable of completing the Rubicon Trail on a single charge, with enough power remaining to return to a charging point. The Moab trim will be joined by other likely variants, such as Willys, already offered with the Wrangler, and Overland, available with the Grand Cherokee.
Pricing is expected to start around $80,000, with higher trims, including the Moab edition, potentially exceeding $100,000 depending on equipment.
