2027 Mini Countryman Untamed Edition Brings Adventure-Ready upgrades... with a Catch
The package adds a lifted suspension, all-terrain tires and a rooftop tent option as Mini targets buyers who want more camping capability.
Mini is introducing the 2027 Countryman Untamed Edition, an off-road-themed SUV available with gas and electric powertrains that emphasizes the "country" part of the crossover.
To enhance capability, Mini added a 0.6-inch suspension lift and specific chassis calibration paired with 19-inch wheels and Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Plus tires for 0.8 inch of total ground clearance gain.
The Untamed Edition includes a standard tow hitch rated to 3500 pounds and an optional weather-resistant roof tent developed with Italian specialist AutoHome; the cheapest model starts at $45,075.
Inside, the trim features Untamed-exclusive Nightshade Blue faux-leather sports seats, while the exterior introduces Mini's first regular-production matte color, Frozen Nomad Blue.
Production of the Untamed is set to begin in late 2026, with an official market launch planned for early 2027.
Now the Mini Countryman honours his name: As Untamed, he ventures deeper into country life than ever before. And where civilization becomes thin, he brings his own night camp with him.
