Flat tire on the side of the road is stressful enough without discovering that the jack in your trunk doesn't fit or that you don't have a lug wrench. The two emergency tire kits here solve that problem in different ways: a Subaru scissor jack assembly with tools at a lower price, and a Nissan Sentra scissor jack assembly with a tool foam organizer tray at a higher price. The right pick comes down to the car you drive and how much trunk organization you want.
Quick verdict
If your vehicle falls in the Subaru fitment range and you want a lower-priced kit, the Subaru assembly is the direct pick. If you own a 2020-2025 Nissan Sentra B18 and prefer a kit that keeps the tools organized, the Nissan kit is the stronger match.

Where each kit has an edge
- Subaru kit: Costs less and includes the wheel wrench, so the lug tool travels with the jack.
- Nissan kit: Costs more but includes a foam organizer tray that holds the jack, lug nut wrench, handle, and tow hook eyelet in place. It also adds a 90-day warranty.
Neither kit is a universal fit item, so the vehicle match is the first thing to check. Use the fitment column above to narrow it down, then read the notes below for the details that matter.
Product notes
Subaru Emergency Spare Tire Jack Assy OEM W/Tools & Lug Wrench
At $86.59, this Subaru jack assembly is the lower-priced emergency tire option. It's a used OEM scissor jack pulled from a 2011 Outback AWD, and the seller states it works properly with minimal signs of wear. The included wheel wrench means you don't have to hunt down a lug wrench on the side of the road. It's intended for models such as the 2010-2014 Legacy and Outback and the 2013-2023 Crosstrek. The trade-off is fitment: the seller makes clear that the buyer is responsible for confirming fitment before purchase, and no labor warranty is offered. If you need a jack for one of those Subaru models and want to save money, this kit is the sensible buy.
20-25 Nissan B18 Sentra Trunk Spare Tire Scissor Jack & Tool Foam Organizer Tray
The Nissan kit costs $119.95, making it the pricier of the two by about $33. Its appeal is the complete organized package for the 2020-2025 Nissan Sentra B18 in S, SR, and SV trims with the 2.0L engine: scissor jack assembly, lug nut wrench, handle, tow hook eyelet, and a foam organizer tray that keeps everything from rolling around the trunk. It also carries a 90-day warranty. The limitation is its tight focus: this is a Sentra B18-specific kit, so if your car isn't that model, the foam tray's shape won't match your trunk. For a Sentra B18 driver who wants a tidy trunk, this kit makes a strong case.
Final choice by use case
- For a Subaru Legacy, Outback, or Crosstrek owner who wants the more affordable option: Go with the Subaru emergency spare tire jack assembly.
- For a 2020-2025 Nissan Sentra B18 owner who wants tools held in place: Go with the Nissan Sentra scissor jack and tool foam organizer tray.
