Mini Countryman Untamed Edition Gains Lifted Suspension and Outdoor Upgrades
The Mini Countryman Untamed Edition arrives with a 15-millimeter suspension lift that increases ground clearance by up to 19 millimeters, combining off-road hardware with specialized camping gear for European and North American buyers, Novinky reported. Mini designed the new variant for drivers who split daily driving with road trips and outdoor excursions, outfitting the vehicle with heavy-duty chassis protection, matte protective films on wheel arches and sills, and a specific radiator grille featuring Dark Steel details.
European Electric Requirements Contrast With Global Options
In Europe, the raised suspension is offered exclusively for fully electric variants, according to SpeedMe.ru. The publication noted that while models in the United States and Canada receive the raised suspension across the entire local lineup and include Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires as standard equipment, European buyers must pay extra for the off-road tires. SpeedMe.ru also reported that the Untamed designation does not automatically mean every Countryman features the ALL4 all-wheel-drive system, as availability varies by market across versions such as the Countryman C, D, E, S ALL4, and SE ALL4.
Production Schedule and Pricing in Germany
Production for the Mini Countryman Untamed Edition is scheduled to begin in November 2026 at the BMW Group plant in Leipzig, with market launches following in early 2027, SpeedMe.ru reported. In Germany, the Untamed Edition package carries an additional cost of 4,700 euros. Autorevue noted that separate dark-themed variants like the Midnight Edition are priced at 41,645 pounds in the UK for the SE ALL4 powertrain, though specific regional pricing tiers for the broader Untamed lineup have not yet been fully detailed by the manufacturer.
Camping Equipment and Interior Features
The vehicle features camping-focused accessories developed in collaboration with Italian firm Autohome, including a rooftop tent that deploys via gas struts in seconds, Novinky reported. SpeedMe.ru added that the roof can support up to 75 kilograms while driving and up to 300 kilograms when stationary. Inside, the Untamed Edition utilizes Nightshade Blue sports seats, new textile trims, and a center console equipped with elastic fixing straps, alongside durable rubber floor mats and a specialized boot mat, complemented by lightweight folding tables and chairs from Helinox.
