The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 sits in the high-performance piston single category, typically carrying six people with a useful real-world range on the order of roughly 600–900 nautical miles depending on power setting and reserves. The Cessna Skyhawk (172) is the archetypal trainer/light personal airplane, usually four seats with a more modest range commonly around 500–700 nm. The Cessna Skylane (182) is a step up as a higher-payload, faster fixed-gear four-seater, often reaching about 700–900 nm. The Cessna Turbo Stationair (206) is a utility heavy-hauler, generally six seats and oriented to load-carrying and high-altitude capability, with typical ranges around 700–1,000 nm. The Cirrus SR20 G6 is a modern composite, tech-forward four-seat personal aircraft, commonly ranging about 600–800 nm. The Piper Arrow is a complex (retractable-gear) four-seat cross-country airplane, with typical range roughly 500–800 nm depending on model and fuel/reserve assumptions.
