Check out This Wrangler-Inspired Jeep EV Coming in 2024

Jeep shared its first images of the Recon and Wagoneer electric SUVs, which are expected to roll out in 2024. The Recon drew inspiration from the classic Wrangler design with removable doors and roof panels, and will only be offered as an EV. Since off-roading is part of Jeep’s DNA, the Recon will feature upgraded axles, under-body protection, and all-terrain tires. The Wagoneer S (official name still pending) will be an all-electric model of the already popular Wagoneer SUV, and it’s expected to have a large battery with a significant range. Jeep hopes to have 50 percent of U.S. sales going to EVs by 2025.
