GadgetWheels of the Year: a high-tech automotive feast

Automotive tech became a digital feast in 2023, writes ARTHUR GOLDSTUCK as he selects Gadget Wheels’ best of the year in a dozen categories.

Published on 19 December 2023

The year 2023 saw a feast of automotive technology across all brands and tiers of cars, as infotainment screens expanded, digital systems improved, and new-energy ranges grew.

As we did not have access to all brands, the selection of the Gadget Wheels of the Year is based on cars that we drove during their launches or test drove and reviewed. All the names of winners below are linked to our reviews.

The definitions of low-end, mid-range, high-end and levels in between are based broadly on price ranges.

Criteria for our selections included integration of digital technology into the driving experience, seamlessness of high-tech functionality, and level of innovation encountered.
