Bombardier Global 6500 vs Cessna Citation Hemisphere vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G600

All five are large-cabin business jets, but they span the upper-midsize to long-range segment. The Embraer Praetor 600 is typically positioned as a super-midsize jet, offering transcontinental-to-near-long-range capability at about 4,000 nautical miles and usually seating around 8–12 passengers. The Bombardier Global 6500 is a long-range large-cabin aircraft, roughly 6,600 nautical miles, commonly configured for about 12–17 passengers. The Cessna Citation Hemisphere is intended as a long-range large-cabin Citation, generally described around 4,500–5,000 nautical miles with typical seating near 9–19, depending on layout. The Dassault Falcon 7X is a long-range large-cabin tri-jet at about 5,950 nautical miles, often arranged for roughly 12–16 passengers. The Gulfstream G600 sits in the long-range large-cabin class as well, around 6,600 nautical miles, typically configured for about 13–17 passengers. In summary, Praetor 600 is the smallest-range/class step, Hemisphere and 7X are mid-to-upper long-range, and Global 6500 and G600 lead on range and cabin scale.
