The first question everyone asks about the Jeep Recon is whether it is a real Jeep or an electric crossover wearing a costume. The Moab, the trim the Recon launches with, is Jeep's answer, and it is not subtle: 33 inch tires, a rear electronic locker, skid plates, removable doors, and the first Trail Rated badge ever put on a fully electric SUV. We covered the Recon as a model in our Jeep Recon electric explainer; this page is the deeper read on the Moab trim itself, what the launch spec actually includes, and the honest Manitoba questions about cold, range and charging. If you are watching the broader lineup while you decide, our new inventory in Portage la Prairie is the page to keep open.

Key Takeaways

• Moab is the launch trim of the Recon in Canada, and at the time of writing it is the trim the Canadian configurator offers. The name is doing real work: this is the off road spec, not a decal package.
• The confirmed numbers are serious. Up to 650 horsepower and 620 lb ft of instant torque, 0 to 100 km/h in as low as 3.7 seconds, a 100 kWh battery pack running a 400 volt architecture, and standard electric four wheel drive.
• The capability hardware is real. Standard 33 inch tires, a rear e locker, Selec-Terrain with five modes including a new Rock mode, roughly 24 cm of ground clearance, and approach and departure angles both over 34 degrees on the Moab setup.
• It is the only fully electric vehicle with removable doors, plus removable rear quarter glass and swing gate glass, no tools required, and a Trail Rated badge.
• Jeep Canada quotes up to 370 km of driving range, and our honest Manitoba read is that deep cold cuts any EV's number well below its rating. Plan around the winter number, not the brochure number.
• On price, the figure to trust is the live one. Jeep Canada's public Starting At figure is not a bare MSRP, so ask us for the real number on an actual build, less any applicable incentives.

What the Moab Trim Actually Is

Jeep has used the Moab name before, but on the Recon it is the launch identity of the whole vehicle. Rather than opening the range with a base street trim and saving the hardware for later, Jeep launched the Recon leading with its most capable foot.

The confirmed spec reads like this. Power is up to 650 horsepower and 620 lb ft of torque from front and rear electric drive modules, which is enough to move this boxy SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in as low as 3.7 seconds. Underneath sits a 100 kWh battery pack on a 400 volt architecture, protected by heavy duty skid plates. Electric four wheel drive is standard, and the rear drive module carries an electronic locking differential you can take from open to fully locked with a switch.

The Moab trim then adds the off road stance: standard 33 inch tires, roughly 24 cm (9.4 inches) of ground clearance, a 34 degree approach angle, 23.5 degree breakover and 34.5 degree departure. Those are legitimate trail numbers, and they are why this is the first fully electric SUV to earn Jeep's Trail Rated badge. Selec-Terrain returns with Auto, Sport, Snow and Sand modes plus a new Rock mode built for the electric powertrain, softening throttle response for precise low speed crawling.

Inside, a 12.3 inch digital cluster faces the driver and a 14.5 inch touchscreen runs Uconnect 5. And then there is the party trick no other EV has: the doors come off, the rear quarter glass comes out, the swing gate glass comes out, and none of it needs tools.

The Honest Manitoba Questions

We are a prairie dealer, so here is the part of the conversation that matters more in Portage la Prairie than it does in a press release from California.

Cold range is the real number. Jeep Canada quotes up to 370 km of driving range for the Recon, and that figure comes with the usual caveat that weather, speed and terrain change it. Our standing advice on every EV applies here: at minus 25 with the cabin heat working, expect meaningfully less than the rated number, and plan your use case around the winter figure. We wrote up the physics of this in our cold weather range read on the electric Ram, and the same principles apply to the Recon. If your driving is town, school runs and a Winnipeg trip with a charge available, the math works. If it is long unsupported winter highway miles, be honest with yourself about the buffer you need.

Charging on prairie distances. DC fast charging is quoted at an estimated 28 minutes from 5 to 80 percent on a Level 3 charger, and Jeep's Free2move charging partnership covers home and on the go solutions. The charging map between prairie towns keeps improving, but it is not southern Ontario out here. Ask us about current charging network access when you are speccing one; that landscape is changing quarter by quarter and we would rather give you the live answer than print one that ages badly.

Provincial incentives may apply. Manitoba has run EV rebate programs, and eligibility rules and amounts change. Our Manitoba EV rebate guide covers how the programs work; confirm the current state of the program with us when you are ready to move, because it directly changes the math.

And the open air thing is not a gimmick here. A Manitoba summer is short and glorious, and the Recon is the only EV on earth that lets you take the doors and glass off for it. That is a genuine piece of the Wrangler lifestyle, electrified. Speaking of which, if the open air life appeals but you are not ready for electric, the new Jeep Wrangler inventory is where that conversation starts.

Price, Availability and How to Actually Get One

The Canadian configurator for the Recon is live and orders are open, with the Moab as the launch trim. On availability to a Portage la Prairie driveway, the honest answer is that launch vehicle timing depends on allocation and build scheduling, so talk to us early rather than guessing from a press date.

On price: Jeep Canada publishes a Starting At figure for the Recon Moab, and it is important to read it for what it is. By Jeep Canada's own fine print, that number is MSRP plus freight and federal surcharges minus current manufacturer discounts, not a bare MSRP, and it moves as programs change. Whatever figure you see quoted anywhere, treat it as a snapshot, less any applicable incentives.

FAQs

What is the Jeep Recon Moab?

The Moab is the launch trim of the Jeep Recon, the brand's fully electric off road SUV. It carries standard 33 inch tires, a rear electronic locking differential, skid plates, Selec-Terrain with a Rock mode, removable doors and glass, and a Trail Rated badge, the first ever on a fully electric SUV.

How much power does the Jeep Recon Moab have?

Up to 650 horsepower and 620 lb ft of instant torque from its dual electric drive modules, with 0 to 100 km/h quoted in as low as 3.7 seconds.

What is the range of the Jeep Recon in Canada?

Jeep Canada quotes up to 370 km of driving range from the 100 kWh battery. Real range varies with weather, speed and load, and Manitoba cold cuts any EV's number, so plan around a winter figure below the rating. DC fast charging from 5 to 80 percent is estimated at 28 minutes on a Level 3 charger.

Can you really take the doors off the Jeep Recon?

Yes. The Recon is the only fully electric vehicle designed with removable doors, removable rear quarter glass and removable swing gate glass, with no tools required.

How much does the Jeep Recon Moab cost in Canada?

Jeep Canada publishes a Starting At figure that already folds in freight, surcharges and current discounts, so it is not a bare MSRP and it changes with programs. Check our live inventory pricing for the current number, less any applicable incentives, and ask us for the exact figure on a specific build.

The Bottom Line

The Recon Moab is the most convincing case yet that electric and Jeep are not opposites: real hardware, real angles, a locker, and doors that come off, launched as the lead trim rather than an afterthought. The Manitoba questions are the same ones we put to every EV, cold range and charging coverage, and they deserve straight answers against your actual driving, not brochure optimism. Come talk it through with us, watch the inventory page as launch stock lands, and we will tell you honestly whether the Moab fits your winter or whether another Jeep is the smarter fit.
