One that always seems to be missed that people forget about, the Nissan Murano. NA V6, proven powertrain at this point, smaller size, has a large sunroof, decently appointed, has some great zero gravity seats, and pricing is good. I have a doctor friend that I helped buy one about 12 years ago and she's still driving hers. It's Japanese without a lot of complexity of turbos, hybrid, etc.
If nothing else, I say go to your local dealer and see if they have one in stock, it doesn't hurt to look. Of course it won't be everyone's taste, but it could fit her and your needs quite well.
