Yes, you’re right, the Skoda Kylaq is an excellent choice that fits your needs well. Apart from being comfortable and stable out on the highway, its 1.0 TSI engine has a lot of punch, and its 6-speed AT gearbox is very smooth. Mileage is decent, too, if driven carefully, and ingress and egress are quite easy.
However, you should also consider the Mahindra XUV 3XO, which has more powerful engines and an able chassis, since you like to drive. It is slightly more comfortable than the Kylaq, which can feel a bit stiff, and since you do such long distances, unlike the Kylaq, it offers a strong but efficient diesel engine option, which will reduce the running costs slightly.
