Airbus Acj320 Neo vs Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500
By category, the Airbus ACJ320neo is a VIP airliner (large-cabin) based on a commercial narrowbody, offering the most cabin volume and typically the highest passenger capacity. The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS and Embraer Praetor 600 sit in the super-midsize/large-midsize bracket, optimized for efficient regional and transcontinental missions with moderate cabin size. The Gulfstream G400, Gulfstream G500, and Dassault Falcon 7X are large-cabin long-range business jets, aimed at intercontinental travel with higher speed, comfort, and payload flexibility than midsize types. On range, the Praetor 600 is generally around 4,000 nautical miles, the Falcon 2000LXS around 4,000 nm, the G400 roughly mid‑4,000 nm class, the G500 about 5,000+ nm, and the Falcon 7X about 5,900–6,000+ nm. The ACJ320neo is typically in the ~6,000+ nm class (configuration dependent) and can match or exceed many purpose-built business jets on distance. Passenger capacity varies widely: Praetor 600 commonly 8–12, Falcon 2000LXS about 8–10 (often up to ~19), G400/G500 typically 10–19, Falcon 7X usually 12–16 (up to ~19), while ACJ320neo can be arranged for roughly a couple dozen up to 40+ in VIP layouts.
