Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Cessna Citation Xls vs Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Embraer Praetor 500 vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G280 vs Gulfstream G400

The Cessna Citation XLS+ and Embraer Praetor 500 sit in the midsize category, typically seating about 8–10 passengers; the XLS+ prioritizes short-to-medium missions (about 2,000 nautical miles), while the Praetor 500 stretches into longer midsize range (about 3,300–3,400 nm). The Bombardier Challenger 3500 and Gulfstream G280 are “super-midsize,” generally configured for 8–10; the Challenger 3500 is around 3,400 nm, and the G280 is longer at roughly 3,600 nm. Stepping into large-cabin territory, the Bombardier Challenger 650, Embraer Praetor 600, and Dassault Falcon 2000LXS typically accommodate about 10–12; the Challenger 650 reaches about 4,000 nm, the Praetor 600 about 4,000 nm, and the Falcon 2000LXS about 4,000 nm as well, with a notably wide cabin feel. The Gulfstream G400 is a larger-cabin, longer-range step up, commonly around 10–14 passengers, with published range roughly in the 4,000+ nm class (often cited near 4,200 nm). Ranges and seating vary by interior and reserves.
