I have a kia sportage with all the upgrades. It has been great and drives amazing in the snow. If you want bigger they have the sorento and a new bigger model.

Toyota Highlander.
Toyota 4Runner
Lexus RX.
Toyota reliability with more luxury.
We took the sienna mini to CA 1 year loaded with 5k of ammo and 6-10 long guns. You'd be hard pressed to see let along know that's the armament we carried. Best of all, cops rarely look twice at a mini vs pick em up truck.
All kidding aside they're real practical (for me especially) when traveling. Easier to slide in the back to put that prosthetic on than mess around in some pick up seat..
I tell people I drive a cab over tacoma.
used to be all GM products, but the last couple soured me on them, I had a beat up Toyota PU that I bought for $100 years ago, put 40K miles on it and gave it away, 5 years later the guy I gave it too was still using it for his DD, so I bought a Toyota T100 with 360K miles on it, and it is far more reliable than my GM's with 100K.
2018 we got rid of our last GM SUV, traded it for a new RAV4 LE AWD, the wife loves it, it has a transmission and not a CVT. She was wanting a Rogue like she rented for a month for a trip to Reno, but I said no CVT. She now admits she likes it better than the Rogue :)
2019 I got a new Tacoma, still have the T100 but we are firmly in the Toyota club.
If you are looking at Toyota, check out the RAV4, Highlander and 4Runner
You know why I have never bought my wife a watch?
There is a clock on the stove....
Ford Edge
Not giant suv, AWD, creature comforts, easy to get in and out of
My wife didn't think she would like driving "a big vehicle" like a Tahoe or Suburban, till I bought her a Sequoia. She drove it across country by herself and she is now spoiled for anything other than another Toyota or Lexus. The "comfort" definitely makes the "big" easier to deal with for her. The one drawback to the Sequoia is the thing enjoys burning gasoline, but given your wife's low annual mileage, that shouldn't be too painful.
