Mini has revealed the Countryman Untamed Edition, a more off-road focused version of the SUV. Depending on the market, it will be available with the C, D, S ALL4, E and SE ALL4 versions of the Countryman. Production of the Untamed Edition will begin in November 2026 at BMW Group's Leipzig plant in Germany.
Mini Countryman Untamed Edition: Off-roading features
The Untamed Edition gets a 15mm suspension lift, which increases ground clearance by up to 19mm (depending on market and variant). Mini claims that the higher ride height also improves its approach and breakover angles. It's also fitted with bespoke 19-inch alloy wheels, shod in specially developed Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tyres.
Mini has also calibrated the ABS, dynamic stability control (DSC) and steering systems to work with the revised suspension and all-terrain tyres. The new edition can be had with an all-wheel-drive system (ALL4 in Mini speak), which is available on some of the Countryman models.
A tow bar is optional, which allows for a towing capacity of up to 2,000kg. The roof can carry up to 75kg while driving and up to 300kg when stationary. Mini has also developed a roof tent and other camping equipment for the Untamed Edition.
Mini Countryman Untamed Edition: Exterior design
It gets a redesigned front grille with angular inserts. It's finished in Dark Steel shade, which is also used on the Mini badges, Countryman lettering, underbody protection and other exterior details. The edition is available in the following paint options: Hideaway Grey, Nomad Blue, Frozen Nomad Blue, Nanuq White and Midnight Black.
The roof can be finished in Glazed White or Jet Black. Decals have also been added above the wheel arches, and the Untamed logo, featuring a mountain motif, is placed on the C-pillar.

Mini Countryman Untamed Edition: Powertrains
Depending on the trim, the Untamed Edition can be had in either petrol or electric guise. For reference, Mini sells the Countryman's C, JCW ALL4 and E versions in India. The Countryman C uses a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder direct-injection turbo-petrol engine, producing peak outputs of 156hp and 240Nm. Whereas, the JCW ALL4 features a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder turbo-petrol mill, belting out 300hp and 400Nm.
The Countryman E, meanwhile, has a 64.6kWh battery pack, powering a single motor at the front. This motor makes 204hp and 250Nm. Mini claims a range of up to 462km on the WLTP cycle for the all-electric Countryman.
The Mini Countryman Untamed Edition will launch in international markets in early 2027. It remains to be seen whether the brand will bring this edition to India.
