Commuter car 800mile round trip
Discussion
The XJ would be my pick but they were over your original budget.

I’ve just got rid of a 68 reg A6, it was a great cruiser, easily managed 60+ mpg on the motorway. I regularly did 250 miles a day in it, sometimes 400+, it was very comfortable but had many electrical gremlins. If you can find a good one it would do the job.
I swapped it for a Q5, it’s nowhere near as comfortable or refined.

I've not found seats better for me than the Volvo - I think that's where my money would go.
I currently own a Volvo and I agree the seats are brilliant, the Saab I had before had even better seats though. Shame they have gone bust and no longer fit the OP's 2015 criteria. Splitting the balance between longer where base (for comfort), safety, space, relaxation, comfort, economy, and resale, you’ll be hard pushed to beat an E200 or E220. A base spec will have smaller wheels (larger profile tyres) more comfortable. All weathers will see you thro the winter at nominal cost on economy. It will eat the miles. A good Indy or even Merc service plan will mean reasonable service costs, too.
