Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

Category-wise, the Beechcraft King Air 360 and 360ER are twin‑turboprop aircraft, the Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a single‑turboprop, the Piaggio Avanti EVO is a twin‑turboprop with a high‑speed, aircraft‑like cabin feel, and the Cessna Citation CJ3+ and Embraer Phenom 300E are light jets. On range, the King Air 360ER is the turboprop endurance leader, offering a notably longer reach than the standard 360. The standard King Air 360 provides strong mid‑to‑long turboprop range, generally comparable to or better than the PC‑12 NGX depending on configuration, while the Avanti EVO typically sits in a similar broad band but is often chosen for speed rather than maximum distance. Among the jets, both the CJ3+ and Phenom 300E deliver transcontinental‑style light‑jet range, with the Phenom 300E commonly cited at the top of this group. On passenger capacity, all are typically configured for roughly 6–9 passengers. The King Air 360/360ER and PC‑12 NGX can be arranged for higher seat counts, while CJ3+ and Phenom 300E are usually 6–8 in executive layouts.
