Can you recommend an automatic car with low emissions for £20,000?

I am looking to buy a new car with automatic transmission, and wish to stay below the 120G/km CO2 limit. I have a budget of £20,000 in mind, and performance is not that important. I know about the Toyota Prius - could you please recommend some more?

Brave styling, decent quality interior and excellent crash test ratings. 1.6 HDi EGS qualifies for £30pa tax. Good compromise between ride and handling
Practical and comfortable cabin, huge amounts in interior space, great 2.2 i-CTDi diesel engine, well built and reliable, enjoyable to drive.
Decent combination of ride and handling that might suit some people better than a harder sprung Golf or a Civic. A few inches taller than a Golf of Focus so easier to get in and out.
Low CO2 emissions and zero car tax. Spacious cabin makes it a realistic family car. Plug-In version escaped London Congestion Charge.
