It makes sense for two reasons. One...choice. Two...Europe. They are replacing the Wrangler in Europe with the Recon, and various choices make sense. Like everyone else on here right now, I'm in it for EV. I have to imagine they'll have a bigger engine that the Hurricane. I mean, it's a...
This has pretty much been known for a while, but it’s great to have it confirmed. The execs have been saying that the versatility of the STLA-large playform allows for relatively easy interchanging of ICE, hybrid, PHEV, and EV. I expect they’ll offer a REEV next year that will be the most...
That makes tons of sense. I'm the typical mall crawler. I drive around town. I used to drive a Yukon years ago and like ride height, but don't want anything that big. The Wrangler 4xe has been a great vehicle for me, and I'm looking forward to electric. I love the looks of both R2 and...
Thanks for the information. I should find out my approximate timeline on an R2 in June as well. If that sounds like it’s in the sooner side, then I can wait until next year for a Recon Overland. We’re looking to replace both of our vehicles with EV’s.
I think this is all linked to the Cherokee being in high demand. The dealers near me can’t keep them on the lot, and I’ve seen more on the road in a few months than Wag S’s in 14 months.
So Jeep is really cranking out Cherokees to meet demand for a fuel efficient SUV. As they hit a level...
Saw this pop up the other day, confirming my suspicions. It's nothing against the Recon, but the limited Toluca capacity and taking advantage of a successful product launch of the Cherokee.

Yeah, they’re saying the initial vehicle will start at $65k, but they’ve stated that the Overland and possibly other trims will be cheaper. They have a few options that can raise the Recon price by a couple thousand.
I think the biggest “oh crap” moments for Jeep engineers we’re hearing...
I think there's a common misunderstanding that you're subscribing to. People kept saying that the Recon was starting at $65,000 and the R2 at $45,000. But that's not the case. We don't know what the lowest trim on the Recon will be. The trim somewhat comparable to the initial Recon Moab is...
I’m starting to get annoyed. They said early 2026. I know I’ve waited 4 .5 years for it, but I’d just like some info. Tell me June? May?
I get it, the Toluca plant has limited capacity and is banging out Cherokees like crazy and they’re selling like hot cakes. But at this point if I get a...
I was thinking about this. Everything is vague and saying “spring.” A dealer I don’t necessarily trust said maybe they’ll have more info in Feb. has anyone heard when orders will open from a trusted dealer, or when the first will arrive? I’m more interested in an Overland, but may just say...
so I'm curious, but in the videos and the website, that appears to be sarge green. But the website says the green is '41. Which is being offered on the Recon, because the images seem to be a lot darker than '41?
I saw it at the Phoenix auto show today. It was really nice sized. Unfortunately it was locked. The Jeep reps were no help to people, and I wound up answering questions for a lot of curious people that had never heard of it.
I have to say, the Cherokee looked a lot nicer in person than I...
Just found this as well. If these specs mentioned for dimensions are correct, it’s exactly what I’ve been wanting. They say Wagoneer S length, or about 5” longer then Wrangler unlimited

EDIT: well the article has been pulled...
Well, it was unveiled in 2021, but now we should get more info. My biggest question is dimensions.

Jeep Recon
The vehicle will be revealed this week ahead of the Los Angeles Auto Show after first debuting as a concept...
It’s been announced that the platform can accommodate ICE, REV, PHEV, or EV. They have lots of flexibility to adapt.
this is going to sell decently in Europe, even if not in the US. But it has a chance to be a first in market midsized SUV EV
While I have a pre-order on an R2, I don’t expect it to be fulfilled until at least 2027 if not, 2028. So I really don’t think I’d be able to cross-shop at all. I have a feeling I’ll be able to walk on a lot and get a Recon pretty easily.
