Beechcraft Baron G58 vs Diamond Aircraft Da62 vs Embraer Phenom 100ev

The Beechcraft Baron G58 is a piston‑engine light twin, best suited to owner‑pilots wanting relatively straightforward operation and good flexibility for regional trips. Its typical range is roughly 1,000–1,300 nautical miles depending on power settings and reserves, and it generally carries four to six people including the pilot, with comfort and baggage depending on fuel load. The Diamond Aircraft DA62 is also a light twin but uses modern diesel Austro engines and a more contemporary airframe, emphasizing efficiency and cabin usability. Its typical range is about 1,000–1,200 nautical miles, and it is commonly configured for five to seven seats (up to seven including the pilot), often feeling roomier than many piston twins in this class. The Embraer Phenom 100EV is a very light jet, positioned above both pistons in speed, altitude capability, and overall mission pace. Typical range is around 1,100–1,200 nautical miles, and it usually seats four to seven passengers plus one or two pilots, with the most common executive layouts around four to six passengers.
