I like my Kia Niro hybrid. It's short enough for my spot in the garage, and has room for a full size spare under the hatch floor. I bought a new rim & tire to match the other four, and I have all five rotated.

Like so many new cars these days (especially hybrids & EV's) it didn't even come with a temporary service spare -- just a can of pressurized goop that may or may not repair tire damage that might occur while driving on unpaved forest roads to remote trailheads.
