Do any hybrids come with a spare wheel?

I am looking to change car and want to buy a petrol hybrid but would like one that has a spare wheel or space for a space saver. Are there any cars up to 3 years old that are suitable?

Very few newer vehicles are fitted with spare wheels of any variety as standard, but cars such as the Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV, most versions of the Volvo XC90 and the Suzuki Across are fitted with a spare wheel. Even if your choice of hybrid doesn't have a spare wheel, aftermarket space savers can be purchased relatively inexpensively from the likes of www.thewheelshop.co.uk/space-saver-wheels or www.road-hero.co.uk/
