Get her a Hyundai Santa Fe. I guarantee you won't regret it. Was in the exact same position last year and found my wife a 2018 with 38k miles on it for less than $25k. We absolutely love it, it's nice but not fancy or flashy and the features are user friendly. Upper 20's for mpg with plenty of go when you need it. Back seats recline for passengers and are very comfortable. Try one out and see for yourself.
