The Skoda Kylaq 1.0 AT would be our recommendation. Since your father already enjoys driving the Slavia 1.0 MT, the Kylaq will feel instantly familiar. It retains the light steering, solid build quality and confidence-inspiring driving manners that have made him a fan of Skoda cars. The 6-speed torque-converter automatic is smooth, predictable and well suited to city driving, making it an ideal upgrade as he gets older. Its compact dimensions also make it much easier to manoeuvre on narrow two-lane roads.If you're open to an EV and have access to home charging, the Tata Punch EV is another excellent option. The combination of light steering, instant torque and a single-speed transmission makes it one of the easiest cars to drive in city traffic, and its compact size is well suited to your father's usage.

The Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus with their 1.5 TSI and dual-clutch automatic transmission combination are the nicest to drive in their segment. Both cars are identical in terms of their platform, build quality, space, comfort, and equipment list, the only differentiating factor being their styling. Pick the one that appeals to you more. The 1.5 TSI engine gets a cylinder deactivation function as well as an automatic engine stop-start function to curtail fuel consumption.The Hyundai Verna 1.5, on the other hand, is quick, smooth, and in the real world, it is likely to be a touch more fuel efficient. Also, the top-spec Verna is also cheaper than its rivals, making it worthy of serious consideration. The only downside is that its dynamics don't feel as sporty as the VW or Skoda. But if you don't plan to attack winding roads often, you will be happy with what the Verna has to deliver.

The Kia Seltos is the right car for you, as it meets your requirements of features, size, space, quality and performance. The flush door handles can be annoying, especially during the rains when they collect dirt inside, but are not a deal-breaker and can be grown accustomed to. The Seltos is the most complete package in this segment: it offers a premium cabin, strong feature list, good rear seat space for five, and a driving experience that strikes a nice balance between comfort and engagement. The turbo petrol is punchy and not as thirsty as some others, and the overall ownership experience is dependable.Your concerns about the other cars are valid, and while no model is perfect, this Kia car feels like the one that suits your needs best. If you're looking for an alternative, don't rule out a sedan. The Skoda Slavia and Volkswagen Virtus are both due for facelifts soon, and the updated versions might be worth your while, offering driving pleasure, space and features in good measure.

The Hyundai Verna 1.5 petrol manual is the one to buy. It will sit at 120kph calmly and still return a good mileage figure, and the lower trims fit under Rs 15 lakh on-road. Its 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is a clear step up from your Aura’s 1.2. More power for safe overtakes, and a more settled, quiet highway feel.You will also find ownership easy since you already live with a Hyundai, and the Verna’s cabin feels a class up for long trips. The only catch is that fully loaded variants push past your budget, so you'll have to prepare to give up a few creature comforts.If you want a punchier engine and don’t mind settling for a base-model car, the Skoda Slavia 1.0 TSI manual is worth a look. It feels steady at 120kph and stronger getting up to that speed, but the on-road can nudge past your budget once you add accessories and insurance.Between the two, pick the Verna for the best mix of highway economy, ease of ownership, and a clear upgrade in power over your Aura without blowing the budget.
