Buddy Don't buy anything with less than 4* GNCAP rating as you will be traveling via highway a lot. Also, go for pre-owned only if you know the owner well, if not then dealers can take you for a spin. Even spinny can hand you lemon. My recommendation for first car is always brand new after you complete your driving school. SUV vs Sedan, when you have narrowed down to 3-4 options, take your parents to showroom for test drive and go for whichever is most comfortable.
Your budget is good for automatic, go for it, you will thank me in traffic jams. My Recommendations: Maruti: Brezza, Grand Vitara (mild hybrid) Toyota: Urban Cruiser Hyryder (full hybrid) Honda: City/Amaze Tata: Altroz/Punch/Nexon(new model coming soon) Renault: Kiger Nissan: Magnite Get a feel of all these, then decide. I have skipped Hyundai/Kia because of their apathy towards Indian customers. (Australia Seltos scores 5* in safety test, Indian one barely manages 3*) Also skipped Germans because they have lot of reliability issues. Check out Team bhp.
All the best.

Why Brezza then? Isn’t it also 3 star?

+1 Buy one with less than 30k kms on it. Plenty of options to choose from.

Sedan or SUV? It's not a craving. Parents are alone, so need to visit them regularly.

Maruti Omni, no one will come close to you given its reputation in the city. You will get to avoid pedestrian traffic like a charm.

Try to test drive Skoda Slavia or Volkswagen Virtus. You also can't go wrong with a Honda City which tried and tested.

Stretch it a bit and get a T-Roc or Taigun
