From a practicality perspective, the Kia Syros is a better choice than the Skoda Kylaq. Its cabin is easily the most spacious in the sub-4-metre segment, and it gets practical features such as a sliding rear bench, which lets you free up more boot space or increase rear passenger legroom. Accommodating two adults in the back seat on long journeys is no problem at all. Highway performance from the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and DCT combination is also very good, while high-speed stability is decent too. Ride quality is a touch firm, though, which is also the case with the Kylaq.The Kylaq is the more engaging car to drive, and its torque converter automatic is smoother in city traffic. The DCT in the Syros can feel a bit clunky at times in the city, but since most of your driving is on the highway, this is unlikely to be a deal-breaker.Pick the Kylaq if driving dynamics are your top priority, but when it comes to practicality, the Syros is hard to beat.

Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. The 1.5 engine comes with a torque converter automatic, which is the smoothest type of gearbox to have, especially in city traffic. The low-speed ride on the Brezza is also very plush, and the comfy seats will keep your parents comfortable during their commute. The Brezza also meets your requirements of reliability and safety.The Skoda Kylaq is also a good option. It also comes with a torque convertor gearbox and would be better in terms of driving pleasure on the few highway trips you'll do. However in the city the Brezza's naturally aspirated engine is easier to manage compared to the turbocharged Kylaq engine which does have some amount of lag.

Go for the Skoda Kylaq 1.0 TSI automatic. Your usage is 80% highway with regular 800 km round trips, so you need a car that is comfortable at speed, stable on the highway and easy to live with over long distances. The Kylaq’s 1.0 TSI turbo petrol engine is punchy and overtaking is effortless, while the new 8-speed torque converter automatic is smooth and reliable. The Punch, with its compact dimensions, is a good city car, but won't feel as stable and planted on the highway. Moreover, the AMT gearbox is not as smooth and the naturally aspirated engine lacks the punch you need for quick overtakes.Service costs for Skoda have improved in recent years and are broadly comparable to Tata, but neither brand is up to the high water mark set by the likes of Maruti or Toyota when it comes to overall service experience. As for fuel efficiency, the less powerful and naturally aspirated Tata has the advantage overall, and the TSI engine of the Skoda is highly sensitive to your driving style. However, given your use is largely on the highway, the gap in numbers shortens considerably, and you'll appreciate the added punch of the Skoda.Overall, the Punch, which sits in a lower segment compared to the Kylaq, also feels that way, and if you're prepared to stretch for a Kylaq AT, we recommend doing so, as it is the superior vehicle overall.

Both models on your shortlist are enjoyable cars to drive. The Skoda Kylaq feels punchy and solidly put together and also offers a crucial bit more ground clearance than the Hyundai i20. It's also got the smoother gearbox. However, for someone buying a car primarily for driving feel with the majority of use on the highway, the i20 N line gets our vote. Performance is good but it's the tweaked suspension and steering that really uplift the N Line to make it feel properly involving to drive in corners. This Hyundai car also looks sportier thanks to the visual upgrades outside and inside, while the slightly enhanced soundtrack from the exhaust is a happy reminder that you are driving something special.

Between the two, we would suggest you going for the Skoda Kylaq Signature+ AT, particularly if you enjoy driving and will occasionally take the car on highways and hills. Its six speed torque converter automatic is smoother and more predictable in stop start traffic than the Venue's seven speed DCT. The Kylaq's chassis and suspension also make it more engaging to drive, with good composure on winding roads.The one consideration is after sales and maintenance. Hyundai has the advantage of a wider service network, while Skoda ownership costs can be higher. Since this car will primarily be used by your father, take him along for a test drive of both and pay particular attention to ease of ingress and egress, ride comfort and gearbox smoothness.
