MINI has introduced a new, more adventure-focused version of its SUV with the unveiling of the Countryman Untamed Edition. Designed for customers who want greater capability away from paved roads without giving up the everyday practicality of the Countryman, the new edition brings suspension changes, all-terrain tyres, dedicated exterior styling and a range of outdoor accessories.

The MINI Countryman Untamed Edition is scheduled to enter production in November 2026 at BMW Group Plant Leipzig in Germany, with its international market introduction planned from early 2027. Depending on the market, the edition will be offered across several petrol, diesel and electric Countryman variants.

MINI Countryman Untamed Edition: More Ground Clearance and All-Terrain Capability

The biggest change over the standard Countryman is the revised suspension setup. MINI has raised the suspension by 15mm, resulting in up to 19mm of additional ground clearance, depending on the market and powertrain.

The increased ride height is accompanied by revised approach, departure and ramp angles, giving the Countryman Untamed Edition a more suitable setup for rougher surfaces and uneven terrain.

The SUV rides on exclusive 19-inch Untamed Edition Spoke alloy wheels, wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tyres. MINI has also recalibrated the ABS, Dynamic Stability Control and steering systems to work with the modified suspension and tyre combination.

For variants equipped with it, MINI’s ALL4 all-wheel-drive system adds further traction when driving on loose or uneven surfaces.

Rugged Exterior Design

The Untamed Edition gets several styling changes to distinguish it from the regular Countryman.

At the front, the SUV receives a newly designed grille with a vertically oriented pattern, while new side sills, front and rear skid plates and a redesigned rear diffuser give it a tougher appearance.

The wheel arches, side sills and power dome feature matt-black protective graphics. Dark Steel accents are used across the exterior, while the Untamed logo with its stylised mountain motif sits on the C-pillar.

MINI will offer the edition in Hideaway Grey, Nomad Blue and Frozen Nomad Blue, alongside Nanuq White and Midnight Black. The standout Frozen Nomad Blue finish is particularly notable as MINI’s first matt exterior paint finish for series production.

Adventure-Themed Cabin

The outdoor theme continues inside the cabin. The MINI Countryman Untamed Edition gets Vescin Nightshade Blue sports seats with knitted surfaces and Untamed branding.

The dashboard and door panels feature Millennial Melange knitted surfaces, while Dark Steel and Cornflower Blue details add contrast to the cabin.

MINI has also redesigned the centre console storage area and introduced elastic straps inspired by outdoor equipment. Durable rubber floor mats and a matching luggage compartment mat further reinforce the adventure-focused theme.

MINI Countryman Untamed Edition Gets Camping Equipment

Rather than limiting the Untamed Edition to visual upgrades, MINI has developed a dedicated outdoor accessory package.

One of the highlights is a roof tent developed with Italian specialist AUTOHOME. The hard-shell tent features panoramic openings and weather-resistant materials, allowing the Countryman to function as a base for overnight trips.

MINI has also collaborated with HELINOX on a dedicated camping collection, expanding the SUV’s outdoor-focused proposition beyond the vehicle itself.

The vehicle can also tow trailers weighing up to 2,000kg when equipped with the optional tow hitch. Its roof can carry up to 75kg while driving and up to 300kg when stationary.

Petrol, Diesel and Electric Powertrains

MINI will offer the Countryman Untamed Edition with multiple powertrain options, although availability will vary between markets.

The line-up can include the Countryman C, Countryman D, Countryman S ALL4, Countryman E and Countryman SE ALL4. This means the Untamed Edition is not restricted to combustion-powered versions and can also be specified with electric powertrains.

The electric versions include the Countryman E and Countryman SE ALL4, giving buyers the option of combining the outdoor-focused package with an electric drivetrain.

However, MINI has not announced detailed performance or range figures for every Untamed Edition variant in the supplied material.

MINI Countryman Untamed Edition: Launch Timeline and Price

Production of the new MINI Countryman Untamed Edition will begin at BMW Group Plant Leipzig in November 2026, with market introductions expected from early 2027. Availability of specific variants, engines and equipment will differ by market.

In Germany, the Untamed Edition package is priced at €4,700 gross. This figure refers to the edition package rather than the complete vehicle price.

For India, there is currently no confirmed launch timeline or pricing announced in the supplied MINI material. The edition’s availability will depend on MINI’s market-specific plans.

MINI Countryman Untamed Edition: What Makes It Different?

The Untamed Edition takes the Countryman in a more lifestyle-oriented direction. Instead of simply adding cosmetic changes, MINI has combined additional ground clearance, all-terrain tyres, revised chassis calibration and available all-wheel drive with equipment designed around outdoor travel.

With its roof tent, camping accessories and increased towing and roof-load capabilities, the new edition is aimed at buyers who want a premium compact SUV that can transition from everyday urban use to weekend adventures.

The MINI Countryman Untamed Edition therefore adds a more rugged personality to the Countryman range while retaining the model’s emphasis on practicality and everyday usability.

Production begins in November 2026, with global market launches scheduled from early 2027.
