Getting from A to B has never offered more choice. Electric vehicles are becoming more capable, e-bikes and scooters are more refined than ever, and in-car technology is making every journey safer, easier and more enjoyable.

The Getting Around category celebrates the products that impressed the T3 test team most over the past year. Every winner has earned its place through extensive hands-on testing, standing out not only for innovation but also for performance, usability and value.

From practical, everyday transport to aspirational machines that showcase the latest advances in engineering and design, these are the products we'd happily recommend to anyone looking to upgrade the way they travel.

Best Electric Bike or Scooter

Fiido Nomads

Not every electric bike is designed to shave seconds off a commute or conquer technical mountain trails. The Fiido Nomads takes a different approach, prioritising comfort, versatility and the freedom to explore wherever the road (or track) leads.

It combines a relaxed riding position with chunky tyres, generous carrying capacity and a long-range battery, making it equally capable of tackling daily errands, weekend bikepacking trips or leisurely rides beyond the tarmac. It's the sort of e-bike that encourages you to take the scenic route rather than the quickest one.

The Nomads is easy to ride, confidence-inspiring and packed with thoughtful touches that make everyday use a pleasure. It strikes an excellent balance between utility and enjoyment without becoming overly complicated or prohibitively expensive.

The best electric bikes make you want to ride more often, and that's exactly what the Fiido Nomads achieves. For combining impressive range, all-terrain versatility and outstanding value in one adventure-ready package, it's our Best Electric Bike or Scooter winner for the T3 Awards 2026.

Best car

Aston Martin DB12 S

How do you improve on a car like the Aston Martin DB12? Well, Aston found a way with the DB12 S , giving its 4.0-litre V8 an extra tune, reducing the weight with a titanium exhaust option, putting carbon ceramic brakes as standard and upgrading the handling.

The result is a meaner and more agile car, which is still as much of a joy to look at as it is to drive. There's still a luxury interior, complete with the latest Apple CarPlay Ultra connectivity and the option of the Bowers & Wilkins sound system.

As we said in the review: "The differences here may be subtle, but in almost every way, the DB12 S is that little bit better."

Highly Commended: Porsche 911 Turbo S

Best electric car

BMW iX3

The BMW iX3 is the first of the 'Neue Klasse' or new class of electric vehicles. This goes further than just the design. The cars have been rebuilt from the ground up, with new electric drivetrains, batteries, and technology.

In practical terms, this means faster charging and longer range, with the iX3 offering over 500 miles of range on a single charge and 400kW charging, so it can add up to 231 miles in just 10 minutes.

On the inside, it uses the BMW Panoramic iDrive system, which includes a thin projected display along the bottom of the windscreen for essential driving widgets and an angled centre display in addition to the head-up display. While it may sound a little gimmicky, it's actually incredibly useful.

While BMW's former electric models were very much top of their game, the new iX3 paints a very promising picture for what's to come. It's an excellent electric SUV and a worthy winner of our best electric car award.

Highly Commended: Mercedes-Benz CLA

Best dashcam

Nextbase IQ

Dashcams have become an essential part of modern driving, and while all offer the basics of video capture to give you evidence of any accidents, some go that little bit further.

The Nextbase iQ is one such device, as it works more like a complete car security system than just a simple dash cam. Coming in 1K, 2K and 4K versions, you can also add a supplementary rear-facing camera for full coverage.

Smart features include the Smart Sense Parking to keep an eye on your car while it's parked up, the Guardian Mode to set limits on speed and location, with notifications if it does, and the voice-activated Witness Mode to share live footage in case of emergencies.

Though the Nextbase iQ is a few years old now, it remains our top pick and is a worthy winner of the Best Sat Nav award.

Highly Commended: 70mai 4K A810 Lite
