![]() ![]() The front and second-row seats are comfortable and spacious for adults. High-quality materials cover nearly every surface from the front seats to the third row. The good news is that the interior of this new Range Rover is immaculate. Old-School Luxury, But Maybe That’s Not EnoughĢ022 Land Rover Range Rover SE Long Wheelbase | photo by Brian Normile Frankly, it felt too easy and not very satisfying, but it seems very on-brand for a British luxury vehicle to go out of its way to make your life as easy as possible. Four-wheel steering and a host of aids - off-road camera systems, standard height-adjustable air suspension, six different off-road driving modes, hill descent control and All-Terrain Progress Control (effectively off-road cruise control) - make off-roading an absolute breeze. We were also able to do some very light off-roading, though each generation of Range Rover feels less and less like a vehicle that will even see a mud puddle. If you’re worried about the environment and still want to buy a Range Rover, a plug-in hybrid powertrain with what Land Rover says is 48 miles of all-electric range (up from the last-generation PHEV’s EPA-rated 19 miles) is coming for the 2023 model year, and an all-electric model is allegedly on its way for 2024. The EPA has yet to rate the new Range Rover’s fuel economy, but if you’re worried about fuel economy and cost, maybe a Range Rover isn’t for you. But ultimately, these are supposed to be big, cushy SUVs that get you from A to B in maximum comfort. The steering wheel itself felt on the larger side, which detracted from its dynamism, as well. Despite advances in this new Range Rover to improve ride and handling - standard four-wheel steering and what the automaker calls Dynamic Response Pro, an electronic roll control system - there’s still a healthy amount of body roll in corners. Each model I drove had 23-inch wheels, which produced some impact harshness, but they otherwise handled bumps and imperfections with excellent isolation. ![]() ![]() Steering, handling and ride quality are pleasant and befitting a six-figure luxury SUV. In the twin-turbo, keeping the revs higher mitigates that somewhat by keeping the smaller turbo spinning and minimizing the downshifting. Each has roughly a full second of hesitation under hard acceleration, requiring some timing on passing maneuvers. Not everything with either powertrain I tested is roses, however. Range Rover quotes a 0-60 mph time of as low as 4.4 seconds with the V-8, and while I didn’t measure it on public roads, that doesn’t feel inaccurate.Īll versions use an eight-speed automatic transmission that didn’t do anything notable, but it did shift smartly and stayed out of its own way during normal acceleration. The new twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8 is rated at 523 hp. A carryover from the previous generation, the turbocharged mild-hybrid six-cylinder engine makes 395 horsepower. There’s no avoiding the feeling that you’re pushing well over 5,000 pounds down the road, but having driven both the three-row, long-wheelbase SE with the six-cylinder engine and a standard-wheelbase First Edition with the new V-8, I never felt short on power to get where I was going, and surprisingly quickly at that. Big and Small On and Off the Roadĭriving the Range Rover is a constantly contrasting experience, regardless of the wheelbase. But excellent road manners and an opulent interior take you only so far in today’s tech-heavy luxury market. It probably isn’t a surprise to find out that the new Range Rover - with its six-figure starting price - doesn’t disappoint. Related: Up Close With the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover: Quiet, Classy Interior We took to the roads of the Napa Valley to test the iconic luxury SUV’s enhancements claimed to make the driving experience as effortless as possible (per ’s ethics policy, we paid for our flights and lodging at the manufacturer-sponsored event). We finally got the chance to drive the 2022 Land Rover Range Rover after its impressive November 2021 debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Versus the competition: The Range Rover matches or surpasses the competition when it comes to interior opulence, and it has power to spare and surprising handling chops, but some buyers might find it lacking in more advanced technologies and third-row space. The verdict: The redesigned 2022 Range Rover, a staff favorite when it debuted at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show, uses its new architecture, technology and twin-turbocharged V-8 to hold onto its place among the cream of the luxury SUV crop. ![]() 2022 Land Rover Range Rover First Edition Standard Wheelbase | photo by Brian Normile ![]()

This chapter discusses some of the current debates on and approaches to intercultural competence in the context of education and work. Emerging approaches, however, have also created some contextual imbalances, for instance, between research on higher education and vocational education and training or Western versus non-Western perspectives. While consensus on the conceptualization of this issue is still lacking, several attempts have been made to deepen the understanding of both the theoretical trajectory and the ongoing state of conceptualization of intercultural competence over the past decades. In addition to global competence, conceptualizations of intercultural (communication) competence are widely used not only in the context of education but also in the context of work and organizations. Education has aimed to keep pace with global socioeconomic changes in order to educate future citizens and members of the workforce. Globalization and its driving forces have led to attempts by both scholars and practitioners to deepen our understanding of people’s abilities and strategies to act and interact with others in global, diverse, and complex environments. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pac's father Zac helped in the war against Commander Betrayus.

He has the unique ability to eat ghosts and destroy the ectoplasm that makes up most of their bodies. Pac-Man vows to stop Betrayus and the ghosts (or any other bad guy) from taking over Pac-World while searching for his long-lost parents. Pac-Man also has four friendly ghosts ( Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde) that surrendered and vowed to help him along his voyage (in exchange for being restored to the living world).
