We drive a newer Hyundai Santa Fe and it is whisper-quiet on the highway, plus it is very reasonable to pick up either new or used - you can find a 2007 model for $14-17K with low miles, just make sure you get one with the 3.3L engine or the 3.5L in the new one.

If you've got some coin, the Buick Enclave (or sister vehicles GMC Acadia and Chevrolet Traverse) are quiet and comfortable, but the Enclave takes the cake for ultimate isolation. Older SUV's from Lexus would be quiet too, like the RX300/330.

Minivans, Honda Odyssey is the best but the Chrysler Town & Country isn't bad either, especially as a used buy.

Good luck!
