From what I have heard there is NOT room for a full size spare in the 2020 Escape Hybrid. They couldn't do it for the same reason they didn't in the C-Max; not enough room given the battery size. Sadly, it is what it is. What one sees in the gas 2020 Escape is not what is necessarily the same in the hybrid model. For example: the gas model has some seat adjustment in the rear seats. I understand the Hybrid model does NOT have that. Again - there are sacrifices made to make a hybrid and these are some of them. But I'm willing to go with the Escape given the larger cargo area of the 2020 Hybrid vs the C-Max. I won't be in the market (I'm not rich enough) until at least 2024 when there are used 2023s on the market.

If you have an SE and the base radio (not Sony), then you can get a complete kit from Crutchfield that lets you pick from many basic or fancy radios including navigation and the latest smartphone connectivity. See this post and this one too.

Just thought of something. K&N filters use oil to filter air. Don't use them. The oil gunks up your Mass Air Flow Sensor. Use a reusable hi flow filter without oil.
