MINI Countryman S Gets a Lower Price With Increased Options with The 2026 Oxford Edition


MINI USA is once again doubling down on value and style with the debut of the 2026 MINI Oxford Edition – this time with the Countryman S ALL4 model. This new model marks the first time the Oxford Edition badge appears on the Countryman S, expanding MINI’s most accessible lineup while keeping true to the brand’s signature blend of performance, design, and innovation. But the most interesting thing is what MINI is offering for the price.
If you’ve been following our reporting, you’ll remember that MINI revived the Oxford Edition earlier this year for the new 2025 MINI Cooper C 2-Door and 4-Door models. That followed our earlier coverage on MINI USA’s decision to re-introduce the Oxford Edition as a value-based package and our deeper dive into pricing and equipment details.
Those models carried forward a concept that began nearly a decade ago: delivering MINI’s core fun-to-drive personality and design sensibility in a more attainable package. Originally created for students and recent grads, the Oxford Edition quickly grew into a cult favorite among MINI loyalists who appreciated its smart mix of spec and value.
Now that same formula comes to MINI’s biggest model, the Countryman S ALL4.
The 2026 MINI Oxford Edition Countryman S ALL4 isn’t a stripped-down special. Instead, it brings together a thoughtfully curated set of options designed to make MINI’s all-wheel-drive crossover both practical and playful. Available in Chili Red, Nanuq White, or Blazing Blue, all included at no additional cost, it features black roof and mirror caps for contrast and a sportier stance.
New 18-inch Asteroid Spoke Black wheels complete the exterior look, giving the Countryman Oxford Edition a bit more edge, while the Anthracite headliner adds a subtle performance-inspired touch inside.
One surprising new feature MINI USA as included is the Active Driving Assistant, bringing driver-assist technologies like forward collision warning and lane departure alerts, plus privacy glass for an extra layer of comfort and style.
But it’s the price that is really impressive.
At $34,900 (plus $1,175 destination), it represents one of the best-value entries into MINI’s performance lineup. That’s a substantial discount on the bone-stock Countryman S which retails for $38,900.
For added context, that’s a fully equipped, all-wheel-drive MINI crossover for roughly the same price as some base front-drive competitors. It’s clear MINI is aiming squarely at buyers who want something distinct, design-forward, and genuinely fun to drive without stepping into luxury pricing territory.

The Oxford Edition name has become something of a hidden gem in MINI’s lineup. Originally launched in 2018, it began as a way for MINI USA to offer students and recent college graduates a more affordable path into MINI ownership. But the idea quickly outgrew its target audience.
MINI fans discovered that the Oxford Editions weren’t bargain-bin models—they were smartly equipped, great-looking cars that retained all the personality and performance of their more expensive siblings. With standard premium features, fewer configuration choices, and simplified pricing, the Oxford Edition struck the perfect balance between style and sensibility.
Over the years, we’ve reported on several iterations of the Oxford Edition across the Cooper range, each one proving MINI’s ability to democratize premium design without losing what makes the brand special. The return of the Oxford Edition for the 2025 Cooper models earlier this year signaled that MINI wasn’t finished with the formula, and now, the 2026 Countryman S ALL4 cements that commitment on a larger scale.
