Used car for my mother.
While I keep telling my father that Lexus is reliable, he talked my mother into a BMW X3. Yeah expected issues have happened so now we are talking about a replacement.
Mothers friend also had a X3 and bought a Lexus NX and said it feels like an old person car.
Luxury is a must and MB E350 seems to be what my father is considering. He asked what is the difference from one year to next. I am not at all familiar with MB.

SUV or sedan seems open to my mother.

German cars will be costly to maintain and probably troublesome over the longterm, especially after the warranty is up. They are mostly all the same.
Best sticking with Toyota/Lexus for a solid experience.

Oh. I have made this clear many times.
Guess some will venture to play. Extended warranty will be used.

The E Class Mercedes are quite reliable. I know several people who have them in varying ages, and reading the forums I wouldn't be worried about one.

I hear that phrase a lot, and get tired of that kind of stereotype. Old people, in fact, drive all kinds of different vehicles, as do not-so-old people.

I say take a look at Mazda's top trims in the CX-5 and larger SUV's, Japanese reliability with luxury enough for most, and still reasonably priced. I had a 2014 CX-5 and loved it for what it was, but I needed a truck again so I traded it after a year and a half. I still see it around town and I am sure it has a bazillion miles by now.
Also, the Lexus RX and Jeep Grand Cherokee L would be high on my list of midsized SUV's. I would sell an NX if you gave it to me. That's how much I cannot stand it. I would rather have a Rav4.
