The sedan is the workhorse of Kanyakumari sightseeing. Four adults, two suitcases and a boot that swallows a pushchair, in a car small enough to park at Sunset Point on a December evening when the Innovas are circling. We run Maruti Dzires and Toyota Etios, both diesel, both under five years old, both with working rear air-conditioning — which matters more than you would think on the Nagercoil road in April.
What you get
- Four adults plus the driver, comfortably. Five adults is legal but tight for a full day.
- Two large suitcases plus daypacks. A third case rides beside the driver.
- Parks anywhere. The single biggest practical advantage in Kanyakumari town.
- Best fuel economy in the fleet, which is why it is the cheapest per kilometre.
When to choose something else
Six or more travellers, or a family carrying a week of luggage for a Kerala circuit. Take the Innova Crysta instead.
