Mini is taking the Countryman a little farther off the beaten path than usual.
Today, the automaker unveiled the 2027 Countryman Untamed Edition, a more rugged version of its pint-sized SUV, complete with a suspension lift, all-terrain tires, standard all-wheel drive, and a handful of outdoor-focused upgrades.
The Untamed Edition will come to the US in two forms: the gas-powered Countryman S ALL4 and the electric Countryman SE ALL4. Production starts in November 2026, with deliveries expected to begin in early 2027.
For the US, the Countryman S ALL4 Untamed Edition starts at $45,250 with the $1,350 destination charge included. Mini hasn't announced pricing for the electric SE ALL4 version yet.
More Ground Clearance = More Adventure
The biggest changes are underneath the body. The Untamed Edition gets a 15.0-millimeter suspension lift, while its unique wheel-and-tire combination increases total ground clearance by up to 19.0 mm, depending on the powertrain.
The Countryman also gets special 19-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires. Mini has recalibrated the ABS, stability control, steering, and chassis to work with the revised suspension and tires, while the extra ride height improves the Countryman's approach and breakover angles.
Here's what the Untamed Edition gets to make it more capable off-road:
- 15-MM Suspension Lift
- Up To 19 MM More Ground Clearance
- 19-Inch Wheels
- Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires
- ALL4 All-Wheel Drive
- Revised ABS, DSC, And Steering
- Improved Approach And Breakover Angles
- 3,500-Pound Towing Capacity
- 661-Pound Maximum Roof Load (Stationary)
US-spec models also come standard with a factory trailer hitch capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds. The stationary roof-load limit is 661 pounds, which should come in handy if you're actually planning to use the rooftop tent Mini is selling for the Countryman.
A Rugged Makeover
The Countryman Untamed Edition gets a collection of visual changes to set it apart from the regular model. The front grille gets new angular inserts and a Dark Steel surround, while the front and rear underbody protection elements and rear diffuser have been redesigned. Matte-black protective film covers portions of the wheel arches, side sills, and hood to help protect against stone chips.
There's also an Untamed logo with a mountain motif on the C-pillar.
The 19-inch wheels are unique to the model, with five thick spokes inspired by classic off-road steel wheels. They're finished with Dark Steel details and paired with those chunky Pirelli all-terrain tires.
Mini will offer several colors specifically for the Untamed Edition, including Hideaway Grey, Nomad Blue, and Frozen Nomad Blue. The latter is the first matte exterior finish offered on a production Mini.
The Interior Gets An Outdoor Makeover, Too
Inside, the Untamed Edition gets Vescin Nightshade Blue sport seats with perforated upholstery and knitted sections around the shoulders and headrests. The pattern is inspired by rock formations, while Cornflower Blue stitching and piping add some contrast.
The dashboard and door panels also feature knitted surfaces in a new Millennial Melange color scheme. Dark Steel replaces the usual Vibrant Silver trim, while additional blue accents are scattered throughout the cabin.
There's even a redesigned center-console storage box with elastic straps inspired by outdoor gear such as backpacks and climbing equipment. Rubber all-weather floor mats and a matching cargo-area mat add some extra practicality.
Naturally, Mini also has a collection of accessories designed for spending time outdoors.
The automaker partnered with Italian roof-tent specialist AutoHome on a dedicated rooftop tent for the Countryman. Integrated gas struts make it quick to open, while weather-resistant materials, panoramic openings, and a glass-fiber-reinforced construction should make it suitable for extended use.
Mini also teamed up with outdoor-equipment company Helinox on a matching collection of folding camping chairs and tables.
The Countryman Untamed Edition Is Coming To The US
The 2027 Countryman S ALL4 starts at $38,900 before options. Adding the required Iconic Trim with Comfort Package Plus for $3,400 and the Untamed Edition package for $1,600 brings the total to $43,900 before destination.
With the $1,350 destination charge included, the final MSRP is $45,250.
The electric Countryman SE ALL4 Untamed Edition is also coming to the US, although Mini will announce its price closer to launch. Production begins in November, with customer deliveries expected in early 2027.
