Official: Jeep Recon will get ICE gas engine model!

[dhonkaz]

It's right on jeep.com, Recon MSRP Starting at $65,000. Price goes up from there.
The R2 starts at $45,000.. A fully loaded top spec R2 is $58,000

"Consumer choice" is corporate speak for trying to keep stock prices up. Playing all sides so we can't lose!
There's no cross-powertrain platform thats succeeded in being a competitive EV and ICE car.

The Recon wasn't always known it would get different powertrains. This news came out May 22nd 2026. Last week.

as someone that read lots of articles and management quotes, about 12-15 months ago we started to see comments that the Recon could potentially have additional powertrains as soon as 2027. Basically, as soon as this leadership took over.

and it’s also been reported since last fall that the Overland (shown at various autoshows) will have a lower price, better range, etc. the initial version, the Moab, starts at $65k. Sorry, I guess I’ve just read a lot more about the Recon over the last few years, so I’m up on these things

Thats fair, I saw their first stated MSRP and stuck with that in my head. Sounds like they'll adjust depending on the market. Jeep historically leaves room for discounts off MSRP, too.
My hopes are they see the R2 as a threat and compete aggressively with it.


I think Jeep should stand by it being an EV, own that its only going to get 250mile range on a good day. It's more of an enthusiast vehicle. 250 is plenty whether people think so or not.
I don't want to drive for hours on the highway with the doors off and top open anyways.
