Beechcraft Bonanza G36 vs Cirrus Sf50 vs Cirrus Sr22t G6 vs Diamond Aircraft Da62

The Beechcraft Bonanza G36 and Cirrus SR22T G6 are both high-performance single‑engine piston airplanes, while the Diamond Aircraft DA62 is a twin‑engine piston aircraft aimed more at efficient multiengine touring and light utility roles. In range terms, the SR22T G6 typically leads among the singles thanks to its turbocharging and efficiency, often advertised around the 1,000‑nautical‑mile class under favorable cruise settings, while the Bonanza G36 is commonly in the high‑hundreds of nautical miles, varying with power setting and payload. The DA62, despite having two engines, is optimized for economy and can also reach roughly the 1,000‑nautical‑mile class, though real‑world range depends strongly on loading and reserves. For passenger capacity, the Bonanza G36 is generally configured for six seats, the SR22T G6 is typically five with an optional sixth “jump” seat suitable for smaller occupants, and the DA62 is usually six or seven seats depending on interior configuration, giving it the most flexibility for carrying more people.
