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 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.
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 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.

The Mahindra Scorpio N's Deep Forest color is borrowed for the newly released Mahindra XUV 3XO.

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.
