MINI Countryman Untamed Edition Video Review: Walkaround and Off-Road Drive

[DimON]

Our video review of the MINI Countryman Untamed Edition is live.

We start with a walkaround of the changes that matter, from the bespoke Pirelli tires on 19-inch wheels and the underbody protection to the 15 mm lift, which brings up to 19 mm of extra ground clearance. Then we tour the interior, where the gray and blue knit dash, dark steel trim and strap details set the edition apart from a standard Countryman.

The second half is the drive. We take the Untamed Edition onto back roads and a light trail in the Sierra Nevada, with DSC off, to see how the longer dampers, bespoke ABS and DSC tuning and new tires work together. The short version: it’s no Jeep, but it’s a capable light off-roader that still drives like a MINI on the road, if a little dulled by the tires.

In the US, the Countryman S ALL4 Untamed Edition costs about $44,000 and the electric SE about $50,000, with availability in the first quarter of 2027. For the full breakdown, including the AUTOHOME roof tent and how the edition differs by market, read our full first drive review.
