Since you have a Tata Safari, we assume you want the smaller car primarily for city use, and interior space or highway stability would not be that high on the priority list. Thus, we would suggest the Skoda Kylaq. Measuring under 4 meters in length, it is easy to manage in crowded cities, and the 1.0-litre engine is peppy enough. Importantly, it comes with the option of a torque convertor gearbox, which is the smoothest type to have and something you will appreciate in stop-and-go traffic.
If it’s a sedan, then check out the Honda Amaze. This too is under 4 meters in length, has light and easy controls, and while the automatic isn’t a torque convertor. It has a CVT autobox, which is still the better option to have than an automated manual (AMT).
