Overview
- MINI has launched the Countryman Untamed Edition as a mechanically reworked variant that adds a 15 mm suspension lift and all‑wheel drive to improve ground clearance by up to 19 mm.
- The car pairs the lift with specially developed all‑terrain Pirelli tires and revised software for ABS, stability control and steering to preserve handling and traction on loose surfaces.
- Equipment and powertrains differ by market: North American models get the lifted ride, Pirelli all‑terrain tires and a tow bar as standard while Europe sees the lift limited to EVs, tires optional and the tow bar sold extra; gasoline, diesel and electric options will be offered depending on region.
- Styling and lifestyle kit underline the outdoors pitch with Dark Steel trim, matt protective films, new 19‑inch wheels, Nightshade Blue Vescin seats, the series’ first matte paint option (Frozen Nomad Blue) and branded accessories from AUTOHOME and HELINOX.
- Production will begin next month at BMW Group Plant Leipzig and sales are planned for early 2027, giving buyers a more capable Countryman that targets outdoor‑activity customers and may influence future MINI and BMW SUV choices.
