Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation Xls vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

By category, the Cessna Citation CJ4 and Citation XLS+ are light business jets (the XLS+ is a larger “light/midsize” cabin class than the CJ4). The Beechcraft King Air Denali, Daher TBM 960, Pilatus PC-12 NGX, and Piper M600 SLS are pressurized single‑engine turboprops, while the Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is a utility/STOL turboprop aimed at rugged, short-field operations rather than high-altitude business travel. For range, the jets generally lead: the CJ4 and XLS+ are typically around the 2,000‑nautical‑mile class, with the XLS+ often optimized for longer trips with more cabin comfort. Among turboprops, the TBM 960 is usually the longest‑legged (about 1,700 nm class), the PC‑12 NGX and King Air Denali sit close behind in the roughly 1,500–1,700 nm band, and the M600 SLS is shorter, around the 1,000–1,400 nm class depending on reserves and loading. The Kodiak’s range is generally around the 1,000 nm class, prioritizing payload and field performance. Passenger capacity typically runs about 6–10 in the CJ4/XLS+, about 5–9 in the Denali/TBM/PC‑12/M600 (with the PC‑12 and Denali often configured higher), and up to around 10 in the Kodiak.
