If they don't tow or go off-road, a truck-based SUV like the Xterra, Tahoe, Explorer would probably be overkill. OTO, if they want to hold on to it for a decade, then something a little overbuilt for their intended use like a Xterra might be a decent choice. If you want something that drives like a car, then I concur with the RAV4. Forester, CRV selection, tending to lean more towards the Forester.
