The Jeep brand, which is part of Stellantis, has revealed three new all-electric crossovers that are expected to enter mass production within the next two years.
By 2030, Jeep plans to increase the share of electric vehicles in its sales structure to 50% in the US and up to 100% in the European Union.
The first of the trinity is called Recon, which is translated from English as “intelligence”. It's a boxy five-door SUV that shares the same proportions as the classic Wrangler, but with a smaller, less brutal shape. The Recon has a soft top with a one-button folding mechanism. The side doors are easily dismantled using the supplied wrench. Without the doors and roof, the Recon looks like a buggy. Of the technical details, the Jeep press service reports the following: the car has a Jeep Selec-Terrain all-wheel drive system with preset driving modes, an electronic differential lock and high-profile tires. Engine power and battery capacity are not disclosed. The production version of the Jeep Recon will appear in 2024, and it will not replace the classic Wrangler, it will only complement the lineup. The English-language edition of Motor1 suggests that the production version of the Recon will be created on the all-electric Stellantis STLA modular platform.
The second debutant is the Jeep Avenger, that is, the “avenger”. This is a compact five-door crossover with streamlined shapes and memorable style. Visually, the whole composition of the headlights and the radiator grill reminds the car of the Renault Duster I. Avenger was created with an eye on the EU market, which is why it has such a characterless exterior. But the car will also be sold in Japan and South Korea. Avenger will be one step below the current smallest Jeep, the Renegade, in the product hierarchy. Specifications are not given.
Finally, the third prototype belongs to the category of mid-size family crossovers. The car is called Wagoneer S and has a streamlined station wagon body that resembles the modern Grand Cherokee, but differs in other proportions (short nose, long cab) and deliberately minimalistic shapes. Specifications are not given, it is only known that the Wagoneer S accelerates from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.5 seconds and is able to travel up to 640 km on a single battery charge. The design of the car is based on the STLA platform.
