Bombardier Challenger 3500 vs Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Embraer Praetor 500 vs Embraer Praetor 600

The Bombardier Challenger 3500 and Embraer Praetor 500 are best viewed as “super-midsize” jets: both typically seat about 8–10 passengers, but the Challenger 3500 generally offers a longer published range (about 3,400 nm) versus the Praetor 500 (about 3,300 nm), with both suited to transcontinental missions and frequent short-to-medium sectors. The Embraer Praetor 600 and Dassault Falcon 2000LXS step up into the large-cabin segment in terms of comfort and capability: both commonly carry roughly 8–12 passengers and deliver longer reach, with the Praetor 600 around 4,000 nm and the Falcon 2000LXS around 4,000 nm, making them strong choices for longer overwater or coast-to-coast-plus missions. The Bombardier Challenger 650 is also a large-cabin jet, typically arranged for about 9–12 passengers, and is oriented toward maximum cabin space and payload with a range around 4,000 nm, placing it in the same general mission class as the Falcon 2000LXS and Praetor 600.
