Buying new car - can you recommend something?

Currently drive Clio automatic 1.6 and find the engine too laboured for managing the hills where I drive. Could you suggest some more powerful similar sized new cars with fully automatic petrol 2 litre engines?

BMW 125d 8 speed auto. That will have no trouble.
