Replacing a 2.0 TDCI Titanium Mondeo

I am looking to replace a 2.0 TDCI Ford Mondeo. I drive approx 14,000 miles a year. Mainly the 20 mile run to work on a dual carriageway. I have a flexible budget of around £22,000.

I want something with a good turn of speed and a bit of luxury. I need to get into work regardless of the weather conditions so am cautious about rear wheel drive vehicles such as the XF Jag or a BMW. What would you recommend? Also, petrol or diesel for my mileage?
