2026 Mini Countryman Holds Price Despite Tariffs And Rivals' Hikes
Mini's largest SUV is keeping its cool - at least when it comes to pricing. Despite intensifying tariff pressure on European imports, the 2026 Mini Countryman will carry over its pricing from 2025, according to newly released order guide Countryman S ALL4 starts at $38,900, while the performance-oriented John Cooper Works version holds steady at $46,900. Those figures don't include destination, but they do send a clear message: Mini isn't passing on tariff pain. At least, not yet. No Hike, No Problem - For Now Mini assembles the Countryman in Leipzig, Germany, making it one of the European-built models potentially affected by the Trump administration's 25% tariff hike on imported EVs and components. Analysts have warned that foreign-built cars, particularly from the EU, may see thousands tacked onto their MSRPs - depending on how automakers choose to for instance, is raising prices by up to $2,500 across several 2026 models starting this month. That makes Mini's decision to hold the line on the Countryman's pricing even more notable - and more competitive. How Mini Pulled It Off The answer likely lies in strategic price protections. According to early dealer reports, Mini USA secured a window of builds unaffected by the new tariffs - meaning customers who order their Countryman before summer's end may avoid price increases altogether. It's not clear how long this will last, though. Once the protected inventory runs dry, later-production models could be subject to the full cost in Mini's 2026 lineup, only one model now starts under $30,000, with most Coopers and convertibles climbing into the mid-$30Ks. The Countryman, already positioned as the brand's largest and most versatile model, appears to be staying put - for now. More Than Just A Sticker The 2026 Countryman isn't phoning it in, either. All trims come standard with a 9.4-inch circular OLED display, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, wireless phone charging, and satellite radio. The S trim delivers 241 hp from a turbocharged four-cylinder, while the JCW jumps to 312 hp with all-wheel drive as recent review of the Countryman SE ALL4 praised Mini's ability to blend fun, function, and refinement in a segment that's becoming increasingly cookie-cutter. It's not just about quirky design anymore - these are capable, well-rounded small SUVs. The Tariff Storm Is Still Coming It's important to remember that Mini's price stability isn't permanent. With trade tensions still rising, particularly around European components and raw materials, future builds may not be immune. Trump's most recent tariff proposals threaten to raise prices even further - with potential hikes on foreign copper and aluminum that would affect everything from wiring harnesses to buyers looking at a Mini, the current pricing may represent a rare window of value before things shift again. Order now, and you might skate by under the tariff radar. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
