Beechcraft Baron G58 vs Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Caravan vs Cessna Grand Caravan Ex

The Beechcraft Baron G58 is a piston-powered light twin typically used for personal and short business trips. It generally carries about 4–5 passengers plus a pilot and offers a practical range around 1,000–1,300 nautical miles depending on power settings and load. The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a pressurized twin‑turboprop business aircraft in a higher category, aimed at corporate and special-mission flying. It usually seats about 6–9 passengers (configuration dependent) and is built for long legs, with range commonly in the roughly 2,000–2,500+ nautical mile class. The Cessna Caravan is a single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft optimized for rugged, short-field work and regional hauling. It often seats around 9 passengers and typically delivers about 900–1,200 nautical miles of range. The Cessna Grand Caravan EX is an upgraded Caravan variant in the same utility category, usually still around 9 passengers, with broadly similar range (often near 1,000–1,200 nautical miles) but improved hot‑and‑high and payload capability versus earlier Caravan versions.
