Can you recommend a petrol automatic hatchback with low emissions?

I am looking for a car that is petrol, auto, under 120g/km CO2 and a 5-seater hatchback. Any suggestions would be appreciated. If not available now, are any to come in the near future?

Toyota Verso S Multidrive S ( www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/toyota/toyota-vers.../ ) or hybrids such as the Honda Jazz hybrid, Honda Insight hybrid, Toyota Auris hybrid, Toyota Prius hybrid or Lexus CT200.

Petrol or diesel ... or even electric?
