  "account": "The Mini Countryman is set to embark on a journey onto the roads, shedding the jungle of the big city. To make this happen, the British BMW subsidiary has introduced the new Untamed edition, which is expected to hit the market at the beginning of 2027. Priced at an additional 4,700 euros, this edition aims to transform the primarily city-oriented SUV into an adventurous off-road vehicle.\n\nTo achieve this transformation, the car is equipped with robust plastic panels and, most notably, two centimeters of ground clearance for new routes. If that's not enough, the manufacturer also offers optional all-terrain tires on the redesigned 19-inch wheels to prevent running out of air. Additionally, the designers have opted for a slightly more rugged material selection for the interior. This package, which also includes a new set-up for ESP and traction control, is available for almost all powertrain configurations: the petrol, diesel, and electric versions.\n\nRecognizing that the range of the Untamed may extend beyond the civilization and tourism infrastructure, Mini has included a new feature in the edition: a roof tent to enable comfortable overnight stays even in the middle of nowhere.",
  "summary": "Jetzt macht der Mini Countryman seinem Namen alle Ehre: Als Untamed wagt er sich tiefer ins Landleben denn je. Und wo die Zivilisation dünn wird, bringt er gleich sein eigenes Nachtlager mit.",
