The new Mini Countryman Untamed Edition lifts the SUV by 15mm, bumping its ground clearance to 19mm – a move that instantly improves approach and breakover angles. The lift is paired with 19‑inch alloy wheels and Pirelli Scorpion All‑Terrain Plus tyres, giving it a new stance and better traction on rough patches.
The suspension lift also required a recalibration of the ABS, dynamic stability control and steering, ensuring that the car still feels responsive whether it’s cruising on a city street or tackling a gravel trail. On models that come with the ALL4 all‑wheel‑drive system, the added height gives an extra edge to the already powerful 300hp 2.0‑litre four‑cylinder turbo.
Towing capacity jumps to 2,000kg with an optional tow bar, and the roof can handle 75kg on the move or 300kg when parked. Mini has even added a roof tent and matching camping gear to the kit, making the Untamed Edition a ready‑to‑go adventure companion. Inside, the cabin gets sports seats with perforated upholstery, a knitted dashboard, and elastic‑strapped storage – a subtle nod to the rugged theme.
Power options vary by market. The India‑spec Countryman C runs on a 1.5‑litre three‑cylinder turbo that delivers 156hp and 240Nm, while the JCW ALL4 variant pushes 300hp and 400Nm. The electric E model uses a 64.6kWh battery and a front‑mounted motor that produces 204hp and 250Nm, offering an official WLTP range of 462km. These figures place the Untamed Edition squarely between compact SUVs like the Audi Q3 and the more adventure‑oriented Jeep Renegade.
Production starts in November 2026 at BMW Group’s Leipzig plant, with a launch slated for early 2027 across international markets. No word yet on an India release, so buyers in the sub‑continent will have to wait for official confirmation.
