Mini is taking the Countryman a little farther off the beaten path than usual.

Today, the automaker unveiled the 2027 Countryman Untamed Edition, a more rugged version of its pint-sized SUV, complete with a suspension lift, all-terrain tires, standard all-wheel drive, and a handful of outdoor-focused upgrades.

The Untamed Edition will come to the US in two forms: the gas-powered Countryman S ALL4 and the electric Countryman SE ALL4. Production starts in November 2026, with deliveries expected to begin in early 2027.

For the US, the Countryman S ALL4 Untamed Edition starts at $45,250 with the $1,350 destination charge included. Mini hasn't announced pricing for the electric SE ALL4 version yet.

The biggest changes are underneath the body. The Untamed Edition gets a 15.0-millimeter suspension lift, while its unique wheel-and-tire combination increases total ground clearance by up to 19.0 mm, depending on the powertrain.

The Countryman also gets special 19-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires. Mini has recalibrated the ABS, stability control, steering, and chassis to work with the revised suspension and tires, while the extra ride height improves the Countryman's approach and breakover angles.

Here's what the Untamed Edition gets to make it more capable off-road:

US-spec models also come standard with a factory trailer hitch capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds. The stationary roof-load limit is 661 pounds, which should come in handy if you're actually planning to use the rooftop tent Mini is selling for the Countryman.

The Countryman Untamed Edition gets a collection of visual changes to set it apart from the regular model.
