India has seen a rise in the popularity and trend of SUVs. The most common colors of SUVs in India are black or white, but why not try a different color this time? Although it is illegal to paint your car the same shade of green as the military, automakers have recently begun to provide visually striking variations of the color that combine toughness with adventure. While each company names its distinct hues differently, we refer to these tints as forest green. The following list contains the best 10 choices for an SUV in forest green that costs less than Rs 25 lakh:
MG 100-year Limited Editions
MG Motor is the most recent carmaker to introduce the Astor, Hector, and Hector Plus, three limited-edition SUVs, in the Evergreen hue, which is modeled after the classic British racing green. There is just a 1.5-liter gasoline engine available for the MG Astor 100-year edition. This engine is available from MG with a 5-speed manual or an automated CVT. A 1.3-liter turbo-petrol engine (140 PS and 220 Nm) mated to a 6-speed automated transmission is also available for the Astor's other models.
Tata Harrier
Price: Rs 15.49 lakh - Rs 26.44 lakh
A new Seaweed Green color option was added to the Tata Harrier when it underwent a facelift. It differs from the Camo Edition's green color and is offered starting with the SUV's second-to-top Adventure level. The Seaweed Green color option even allows you to have a black and tan cabin decor. 190 PS 2-liter diesel engines with 6-speed MT and 6-speed AT choices are the only engine options currently available for the Harrier.
Force Door Gurkha 5-Door
Price: Rs 18 lakh
Recently, the 5-door Force Gurkha SUV was introduced, and the 3-door variant also received some modifications at the same time. The SUVs are now available from Force in a fresh shade of green. The SUV is available from Force with a 2.6-liter, 140 PS diesel engine with a single 5-speed manual transmission. As standard, a 4x4 drivetrain is included.
Mahindra Thar
Price: Rs 11.35 lakh - Rs 17.60 lakh
The Mahindra Thar is one of the SUVs that has had a recent color change. The Deep Forest color option, which is now available on other SUVs including the new XUV 3XO and Scorpio N, is also available on the Mahindra offroader. It is available for the SUV's LX and AX (O) trim levels. Three different engines are also available for the Thar, one of which is a 1.5-liter diesel with rear-wheel drive (RWD). There are just two 6-speed transmission options: 6-speed MT and 6-speed AT. A 4x4 drivetrain is standard on the larger 2-liter turbo-petrol and 2.2-liter diesel engines.
Mahindra Scorpio N
Price: Rs 13.60 lakh - Rs 24.54 lakh
The first Mahindra SUV available in the brand-new Deep Forest hue was the Scorpio N. Except for the entry-level Z2, all Scorpio N versions are available in green. It comes with two engine choices: a 2-liter turbo-petrol engine and a 2.2-liter diesel engine, which may be had in one of two tunes depending on the variation selected. The SUV has an optional 4x4 drivetrain and is available with a 6-speed AT or 6-speed MT transmission.
Hyundai Exter
Price: Rs 6.13 lakh - Rs 10.28 lakh
The company's latest micro-SUV, the Hyundai Exter, now comes with a green exterior color choice. It is available for all Exter models, while larger SUVs like the Creta and Alcazar received it later for their exclusive Adventure Edition. There is also the option of a black roof for the Exter's Range Khaki color. Hyundai equips the Exter with the same 1.2-liter gasoline engine producing 83 horsepower and matching gearboxes as the Grand i10 Nios. Additionally, a CNG kit with the same gasoline engine is an option.
Mahindra XUV 3XO
Price: Rs 7.49 lakh - Rs 15.49 lakh
The Mahindra Scorpio N's Deep Forest color is borrowed for the newly released Mahindra XUV 3XO. Starting with the MX2 trim level that is second from the base, and only on the highest-spec AX7 model, has the option of a black roof. Three engines are available for Mahindra's sub-4 meter SUV: a diesel, two turbo-petrols, and one. All powertrains come equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard. The diesel engine continues to use the XUV300's 6-speed AMT gearbox, while the gasoline engines now have the option of a 6-speed torque converter automatic.
Kia Sonet
Price: Rs 7.99 lakh - Rs 15.75 lakh
Early in 2024, the redesigned Kia Sonet made its debut in India, bringing with it several new features and the updated Pewter Olive color of the Seltos. All Sonet models are available with Kia's new green coloration. The Pewter Olive shade is exclusively offered in a single-tone variant. The SUV made by Kia is available in three engine options: a 1.5-liter diesel, a 1-liter turbo-petrol, and a 1.2-liter N/A petrol. It comes with five different gearbox options, including the distinctive 6-speed iMT (manual without clutch pedal) only available from Hyundai-Kia.
The Mahindra Bolero Neo
Price: Rs 9.90 lakh - Rs 12.16 lakh
While the Mahindra Bolero Neo has the option of a green color similar to other, more recent Mahindra SUVs, the automaker is referring to it as "Rocky Beige" rather than "Deep Forest," as it does for other SUVs. It is accessible on every Bolero Neo version. The Bolero Neo is equipped with a 1.5-liter diesel engine (100 PS/260 Nm) from Mahindra, which is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission only.
