Replacing a 10-year-old Zafira

I have a 10 year old Zafira that I've had since new and has been really reliable.

However, I drive with my seat in its furthest back position and my teenage boys now complain there's not enough legroom in their seats behind me.

I'm now looking for a similar small MPV but with more legroom in the centre row of seats.

I've considered the S-Max but having had to change tyres twice in the past year, I've been put off as I've just discovered it doesn't carry a spare wheel.

Is there a similar-sized MPV to the Zafira that allows more legroom in the centre row of seats and which has been designed to carry a spare tyre?

Galaxy, new Alhambra and New Sharan offer more room but don't have spare tyres. Can't think of any new 7 seater MPV that does.

My daughter is planning to replace her Chrysler Voyager with a similar seven-seater vehicle. She has looked at the Volkswagen Sharan but thinks it's a bit pricey.

Good to drive and comfortable. Versatile with foldaway seats. Generally good quality. Diesel automatic option. Plenty of room in all back seats.
Strong yet frugal diesel engines. Clever use of space inside with integrated child seats. Standard DAB. Practical sliding rear side door.
Proper seven-seat practicality which is more than you can say for most SUVs, practical and spacious even with all seven seats occupied, sliding rear doors are a real boon especially the electric versions.
