Most car like driving…Honda Pilot. Quietest, most carlike overall…my vote is the  
Buick Enclave,GMC Arcadia, Chevrolet Traverse and now-discontinued Saturn Outlook .

I’d like to think my CX-7 is pretty quiet and smooth handling. Then again, I’ve been driving a 2 door Honda Civic for the past 8 years, so anything is pretty much a step up from that in terms of smooth and quiet. I’d imagine the CX-9 to be a bit more so than the CX-7 since it’s a bit larger

Smoothest/quietest - give the Lexus RX-350 a try.

The Toyota version would be a Venza, maybe a Highlander. The ‘Limited’ version of either would also be worth a look.

Something car based like the Lexus RX350 or Acura MDX should work.

We really like our Lexus RX450, quite, reliable and good on gas.
