Bombardier Challenger 650 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G400

The Bombardier Challenger 650 and Embraer Praetor 600 sit in the midsize to super-midsize cabin class, while the Cessna Citation CJ4 is a light jet and the Gulfstream G400 is a large-cabin, long-range jet. For range, the CJ4 is the shortest-legged of the group at roughly a little over 2,000 nautical miles, suited to regional and many domestic U.S. missions. The Challenger 650 and Praetor 600 step up to transcontinental capability at roughly 4,000 nautical miles, with the Praetor 600 generally offering the longer reach of the two. The Gulfstream G400 goes further still, around the high-4,000 to ~5,000+ nautical mile class, enabling more nonstop intercontinental pairings. In passenger capacity, the CJ4 typically seats about 8 to 10, optimized for smaller groups. The Challenger 650 and Praetor 600 commonly accommodate about 8 to 12 with more cabin volume and baggage. The G400 usually carries roughly 12 to 16 in a significantly larger cabin.
