The 2027 Mini Countryman Untamed Seeks AdventureMiniThe new Mini Countryman Untamed is ready to explore the path less traveled.The 2027 Countryman Untamed, revealed on Tuesday, takes the basic adventure-ready crossover theme and applies it to the brand's bread-and-butter model. The lifted crossover will be available in the North American market in two trim levels—the Mini Countryman S ALL4 and all-electric Mini Countryman SE ALL4 —with upgrades to ground clearance, specially developed all-terrain tires, and a revised intelligent ALL4 all-wheel drive technology. All told, the Untamed upgrades will be offered as a $1600 package for those two Countryman models.Mini2027 Mini Countryman Untamed models receive a 0.6-inch suspension lift and ride on newly developed Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires mounted on exclusive 19-inch light-alloy wheels. The Countryman Untamed features up to 8.75 inches of ground clearance. Mini says it also recalibrated the ABS, DSC, and steering systems to accommodate the revised suspension setup and the all-terrain tires. Approach and departure angles were also updated, though Mini didn't specify the new angles. U.S. market models will come standard with a factory-installed trailer hitch and maximum towing capacity of 3500 pounds.Power figures for both models remain unchanged. Mini Countryman S ALL4 Untamed buyers can expect 241 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, while Countryman SE ALL4 Untamed models will make 308 horsepower and 364 lb-ft of torque from a 64.7 kWh battery pack. It is not immediately clear how the Untamed model upgrades affect respective curb weights and acceleration figures.MINIA fundamental reason that adventure-forward crossover models succeed is their rugged looks. Hence, Mini significantly updated the interior and exterior of the Countryman Untamed. The new, vertically oriented geometry front grille is the most significant update, with new angular inserts and an exclusive Dark Steel accent color. The Untamed edition also features new side sill designs, redesigned front and rear underbody protection elements, and a newly sculpted rear diffuser. Mini also applied matte black protective films on the wheel arches, side sills, and Power Dome to protect the paint on narrow trails. The Countryman Untamed will be available in Hideaway Grey, Nomad Blue, Frozen Nomad Blue, Nanuq White, Midnight Black, and Frozen Nomad Blue, while roof finishes will come in Glazed White or Jet Black."The Untamed Edition highlights qualities that are already part of the MINI Countryman's DNA: robustness, versatility and a spirit of exploration. Our goal was to emphasize these characteristics through carefully selected colors, materials and details, while remaining true to the unmistakable MINI character," Holger Hampf, Head of MINI Design, said.MINIInside the Countryman Untamed, the exclusive Vescin Nightshade Blue sports seats are the star of the show. Combining Vescin upholstery with knitted surfaces in the shoulder and headrest areas, the seat design is inspired by rock formations and features decorative stitching in Cornflower Blue. Knit materials on the dashboard and center console come in a new Millennial Melange color tone that combines dark grey shades with a rich blue base. A redesigned center console storage box, rubber all-weather floor mats, and a matching luggage compartment mat round out the Untamed's interior upgrades.The 2027 Mini Countryman S ALL4 Untamed will begin production at BMW Group Plant Leipzig in November 2026, though the global launch won't be until early 2027. Countryman S ALL4 Untamed models will start at $45,250, including a $1350 destination and handling charge. Pricing for the Countryman SE ALL4 Untamed will be announced at a later date. U.S. customer deliveries are expected to begin in early 2027.If You Can Only Own One Car, Make It One of TheseThese Are the Most Popular Cars by State
