The Challenger 3500, Citation Latitude, Citation XLS+ and Praetor 500 are primarily super‑midsize (XLS+ is more “midsize+”), typically flying about 3,400–3,700 nm (XLS+ roughly 2,000+ nm) with usual seating around 7–9 passengers. The Challenger 650 and Praetor 600 sit at the top of the super‑midsize class, stretching to about 3,900–4,000+ nm and commonly configured for roughly 8–10 passengers. The Citation Longitude, Gulfstream G280, and Falcon 2000LXS are large‑cabin “super‑midsize/large‑cabin” crossovers: ranges generally around 3,900–4,200 nm for Longitude and 2000LXS and about 3,600–3,800 nm for the G280, with typical capacity near 8–10 (often marketed up to 10–12 depending on layout). The Gulfstream G400 is a true large‑cabin, long‑range step up, broadly around 4,000+ nm and typically seating about 10–14 passengers, offering more cabin volume and comfort than the others.
