Jeep Recon EV Lands in Canada at $88,000 — More Power, Less Range Than Promised

Jeep has revised the specifications for its first fully electric model just as the Canadian configurator opens — increasing output while lowering the driving-range figures previously associated with the Recon.

The Recon is now listed at 670 horsepower, up 20 hp from the 650-hp figure announced earlier. Torque remains at 620 lb-ft, and Jeep says the electric SUV can accelerate from zero to 60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 3.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 112 mph, or about 180 km/h.

Range now depends on configuration

The latest range estimates are lower than the 250-mile (402 km) figure previously associated with the Recon, and they vary by trim:

• Recon Overland: 240 miles (about 386 km) — the highest figure
• Recon Moab: 222 miles (roughly 357 km)
• Other cited configuration: 230 miles (about 370 km)

That puts the Recon's range-performance balance into sharp focus: buyers selecting the more trail-oriented configurations face shorter distances between charges — an important consideration in regions where public fast-charging infrastructure is less common away from major highways and urban centres, which describes much of rural Canada.

Canadian pricing

Jeep has opened a configurator for the Recon in both the U.S. and Canadian markets. Pricing starts at just under $88,000 in Canada, with fees included, and reaches nearly $100,000 with options. A fully equipped U.S. example can reach US$78,125.

Why the specs matter for Jeep

The updated numbers reinforce Jeep's focus on performance for its first fully electric model designed specifically around off-road capability. The Recon arrives as Stellantis attempts to build momentum across its North American brands — Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Fiat all recorded positive sales growth in the U.S. during the first half of the year.

The Recon is to Jeep what the electric Charger was to Dodge: an EV powertrain applied to a vehicle meant to protect the brand's core positioning. The Charger missed the mark. Whether Canadian buyers see the Recon as a true all-electric off-roader at a near-six-figure price — with sub-400-km range — will decide if this one lands any better. Pricing may be an obstacle; the estimated range numbers might hurt it more than they should.
