MINI introduced the Countryman Untamed Edition — a special version of the crossover for driving on dirt roads and light off-road. Production will begin in November 2026 at the BMW Group plant in Leipzig, with sales starting in early 2027.

The main technical feature of European cars is a new suspension with an increased upward travel of 15 mm, thanks to which the ground clearance has increased by a maximum of 19 mm. This modernization is only available for electric Countryman E and SE ALL4. For gasoline Countryman C and S ALL4, the ground clearance remains standard.

The Untamed Edition received 19-inch wheels and Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires developed for this version. In Europe, they are offered separately, so the package itself does not guarantee maximum grip on dirt. ABS, DSC stability control system, and steering are re-tuned taking into account the new suspension and tires.

The body received protective matte overlays on the wheel arches, sills, and hood, new underbody protection elements, and Dark Steel trim. The interior features special Nightshade Blue seats, rubber mats, and additional storage space with elastic straps.

For travel enthusiasts, MINI offers a roof tent developed in collaboration with the Italian company AUTOHOME, as well as HELINOX folding camping furniture. The maximum roof load is 75 kg while driving and 300 kg when stationary.
