Airbus Acj320 vs Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation Hemisphere vs Cessna Citation Latitude vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Cessna Citation Sovereign vs Cessna Citation Xls

The Airbus ACJ320 is an ultra–large-cabin/VIP airliner conversion, carrying far more passengers than the Citations (often 15–30+ in VIP layouts, higher in airline-style seating) and offering intercontinental-type range (roughly 4,000–6,000 nm depending on configuration), making it suited to long-haul head-of-state or corporate shuttle missions. The Cessna Citation M2, CJ3+, and CJ4 are light jets, typically seating about 5–9 passengers with ranges that generally step up from around 1,500 nm (M2) to about 2,000 nm (CJ3+) and roughly 2,000+ nm (CJ4), aimed at efficient short-to-mid missions. The Citation XLS+ is a midsize jet, usually 7–9 passengers, with roughly ~2,000 nm class range and strong short-field utility. The Sovereign+ is a super-midsize jet, commonly 8–12 passengers, with around ~3,000 nm range. Latitude and Longitude are large-cabin business jets; Latitude is typically 8–12 passengers around ~2,700 nm, while Longitude is typically 8–12 passengers with longer range around ~3,500 nm. The Citation Hemisphere was planned as a long-range large-cabin jet (around ~4,500 nm class) but was canceled before entry into service.
