    Electric. Will be much quieter than anything you have listed.

    Under $50k:
    Hyundai Ioniq 5
    Kia EV6
    Kia Niro EV
    Volkswagen ID.4
    Hyundai Kona EV
    Ford Mach-E
    Audi Q4 ETron

    Over $50k:
    Porsche Macan EV
    Audi ETron
    Jaguar I-Pace
    Rivian R1S
    Tesla Model Y

    I personally would probably get the Ioniq 5 or Mach-E. But it seems like you are into the luxury brands, so maybe the Q4 would be better for you.

      Electric don't give any benefits from road noise..
      If you want really quiet car you need to do additional noise and vibro insulation. It adds about 100-150 pounds to the weight of your vehicle. The cost will be $4-5k (approx. 20% material, 80% labor)

      Gas doesn’t give any benefits from road noise either.

      Electric cars have had to specifically engineer their wheel designs so that you don’t hear the tires on the road, because there is no engine noise to cover it up. A lot of effort has gone into reducing cabin noise in EVs because it’s super obvious without an engine whenever there is a noise in the car.

      “Tesla foam-filled tires are produced by Continental tires company which claims that the tires may reduce tire noise by up to 9 dB. This is accomplished by inserting a specific polyurethane foam substance within the tire, which acts as a sound absorber. Tire performance is unaffected by foam, and neither is steering or handling quality.”

      Gas vehicles don’t have that problem, and because of it, very little has been done in the last 15 years for reducing noise in the cabin of ICE vehicles.

    I've been thoroughly impressed with my Jeep Grand Cherokee over the last 4 years. Rides on an old, reliable old Mercedes platform from the years Daimler owned Chrysler. Air suspension is comfy. Seats are comfy. Not as much sound insulation as you'd find in a luxury SUV, but it's still really good.
