I’ve been waiting to see what the production models of the Recon might look like….Looks like Scout wins!

2025 Jeep Recon EV Looks Ready for Production in New Spy Photos — Car and Driver

Jeep's electric off-roader looks a lot like the concept, and its interior appears more cutting-edge than a Wrangler's.

I’ve been watching for this one as well. It’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out…and where they price it. I also can’t see any signs of the removable glass that I thought they were promising. Anyway, maybe they’ll actually get to producing it sometime next year and we can see what it’s all about.

I've been following this one as well.

The door windows, obviously just retract like every other car door window. The tailgate window in the images, looks like it removes, though I would prefer retracting into the hatch door, which is much more convenient.

That leaves the rear quarter windows that were actually removable when they showed the design in a video, but you wouldn't be able to tell unless they were actually removed, and you wouldn't expect them to be driving around with those removed for general usage testing. I see no reason to think they aren't removable.

This is definitely the closest competitor in mission with the Traveler (more rugged off road EV with lockers).

But a couple of significant differences: Recon seems smaller, unibody, and has independent suspension all around so more crossover like. While the Traveler is more truck like with larger, body on frame construction and solid rear axle.

Yeah-saw that last night and was let down. Well, not really , to mirror your comment Scout wins hands down though some will argue the Recon has removable doors

I guess that Jeep cannot design outside of the "box"...

The Recon has a Yugo ute square look like the other square competition.

Worse it has the unnecessary affection of exterior hinges. These aren't needed to have removable doors(see Bronco). On the Wrangler they get chipped by road debris, and corroded.

It will be interesting to see how they price Recon. Expectations are around $60K, but that seems like a hard sell to me if that is base price.

It looks like the Defender and Santa Fe had a one night stand with lasting repercussions.

Apologies if this has already been shared somewhere in here (I didn't check all 21 pages of this thread, haha! ) but I recently stumbled upon an interesting interview conducted by YouTuber New Legend 4x4 with John Glancy, one of the authors behind International Scout Encyclopedia. Check it out!

By the way, shout out to @binderbeast's post here on the International Scout Encyclopedia. I'm hoping to get hold of this book soon!

Another article. Same points with slightly interesting points of view

Scout Skeptics Who Saw the New EVs in Person Were Impressed. I’m Still Torn

The Scout concept vehicles make a compelling case for off-road EVs. There are some grumpy comments about them online, but I talked to a whole lotta people who saw it in person and everybody was impressed.

This forum just turned into a dating site, maybe this will initiate SM to release some breaking news to pivot this conversation.

Probably still time to put ina word for Santa!
