Advice Verso

I have had a Toyota Yaris Verso for eight years, but it was discontinued about three years ago. It has proved to be the perfect car with a Tardis like ability to hold so much within it, low rear loading to take an invalid scooter and easy to drive, with a full automatic drive, etc. etc. I know that there is a replacement, the Ractis, but it is not sold outside of Japan/Singapore. Is there a satisfactory replacement (full automatic) with a similar body size and high seating, (not a seven-seater), from another carmaker?

Neither the Toyota Ractis nor the Honda Freed are imported to the UK. One alternative is a Citroen Nemo Multispace/Fiat Qubo/Peugeot Bipper kombi with automated manual box.
