Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Bombardier Global 5500 vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Dassault Falcon 2000s vs Embraer Legacy 650e vs Gulfstream G280

By category, the Bombardier Challenger 3500, Gulfstream G280, and Cessna Citation Longitude sit in the super‑midsize class, while the Bombardier Challenger 650, Embraer Legacy 650E, and Dassault Falcon 2000S/2000LXS are typically positioned as large‑cabin/long‑range business jets (the Falcon 2000 variants often described as “large‑cabin” with transcontinental capability). The Bombardier Global 5500 is a true long‑range large‑cabin jet above the rest in overall mission scope. For range, the Challenger 3500 is around 3,400 nm, the G280 about 3,600 nm, and the Longitude roughly 3,500 nm. The Falcon 2000S is about 3,350 nm, while the Falcon 2000LXS stretches to roughly 4,000 nm. The Challenger 650 and Legacy 650E are both around 4,000 nm class. The Global 5500 leads at roughly 5,900 nm. For passenger capacity, typical seating is about 8–10 for Challenger 3500, G280, and Longitude; about 10–12 for Falcon 2000S/2000LXS; and about 12–13 (sometimes more in high‑density) for Challenger 650 and Legacy 650E. The Global 5500 typically carries about 12–16 depending on configuration.
