Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Grand Caravan Ex vs Diamond Aircraft Da62 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Pilatus PC-12 NGX sit in the pressurized, single- or twin‑turboprop business/utility category, while the Cessna Grand Caravan EX is a rugged, unpressurized utility turboprop optimized for short, rough-field work, and the Diamond DA62 is a pressurized light twin‑piston aircraft aimed more at personal and light business travel. On range, the King Air 360ER is designed for longer missions among this group, typically around the mid‑to‑upper 1,000‑nautical‑mile class depending on payload and reserves. The PC-12 NGX is also long‑legged, generally in a similar 1,500‑nautical‑mile class, often trading slightly different speed/payload strengths. The Grand Caravan EX usually offers shorter range, commonly around 900–1,200 nautical miles, heavily influenced by load and mission profile. The DA62 typically falls in the roughly 1,000–1,300 nautical‑mile class, with efficiency advantages but lower maximum payload than the turboprops. For passenger capacity, the King Air 360ER commonly seats about 8–9, the PC-12 NGX about 6–10 in executive layouts (higher in commuter variants), the Grand Caravan EX up to about 9–14 depending on configuration, and the DA62 typically 5–7.
