Is there a petrol hybrid estate you would recommend?

I have a diesel Ford Focus. With all the controversy concerning diesels, is there a petrol hybrid estate you would recommend?

The Toyota Corolla Touring Sports with the hybrid powertrain is a brilliant alternative to diesel. Advertised fuel economy is in the region of 50-60mpg and it's very refined. Admittedly, it's not as sharp to drive as the Focus, but it's much better for comfort.
