Dequindre Posted November 19, 2025 Share Posted November 19, 2025 I am honestly surprised that this didn't get cancelled. I find it to be an attractive vehicle, but it's too expensive, the range isn't great, and the Stellantis EV reliability record is pretty atrocious.

rmc523 Posted November 19, 2025 Share Posted November 19, 2025 (edited) Pricing is a lot. I don't like the exterior look that much, but the form factor of removable doors (and rear windows) with a fixed roof is what a subset of Bronco people want. The interior looks good.

rmc523 Posted November 19, 2025 Share Posted November 19, 2025 This just made me realize.......the Recon is just the "New Energy" Bronco with a Jeep badge and removable doors/windows. Ford begins pre-sales of electric Bronco in China, starting at $32,320 - CnEVPost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another example of Stellantis big shots doing what they do best with the company's products: overprice and underdeliver. Among many, many problems facing Stellantis is one simple, unfortunate truth: Too many of the automaker's cars simply cost too much.

I mean they just cancelled a top trim of the EV charger....why would the Jeep do any better? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherminator98 Posted November 20, 2025 Author Share Posted November 20, 2025 Is this supposed to be released in China? After seeing what the Bronco New Energy or whatever it is called is getting sold at, this would be completely DOA over their with a price point almost double of what the Bronco EV is.

Yea, it's not certain if or when this Jeep will be offered in China. However, the big shots at Stellantis claimed earlier this year it will be a "global release". The Jeep Recon is set for a global rollout soon after its North American debut, with key markets including Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Recon price is ridiculous when you consider the US dollar price of the EV Bronco from China. I’m actually surprised Ford hasn’t considered selling the electric bronco in the US considering that price point seems pretty reasonable and it looks good.

I don't think the typical buyer of a Bronco is really interested in an EV. It is actually around the size of an Explorer vs a Bronco 4 door also. Also I don't think would be able to hit that price point in NA with it either. If they had something to slot in-between the Bronco and Bronco Sport that would be more or less an Edge replacement, that would make more sense IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said above, I have all the parts off on my Bronco right now lol. I enjoy having it all open. If I happen to look cool while doing it, so be it 😛 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-dubz Posted November 21, 2025 Share Posted November 21, 2025 I like the idea of this, but not the execution. the front bumper is weird looking. The price is crazy. Interior looks good though. For $70k, all the windows should roll down instead of having to remove them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bronco EV wouldn't be $33k if it was sold in the U.S. Price conversion doesn't work like that. It would however be $33k of your American dollars if you bought it in China, and kept it there... Agree with everyone with the Jeep Recon being DOA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
