Bombardier Global 6500 vs Cessna Citation Hemisphere vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G650er

By category, the Embraer Praetor 600 is a super-midsize jet, offering long reach for its class but with a smaller cabin than the others. The Bombardier Global 6500, Cessna Citation Hemisphere, Dassault Falcon 7X, and Gulfstream G650ER are large-cabin, long-range business jets, with the G650ER generally regarded as the ultra-long-range benchmark of the group. On range, the Gulfstream G650ER leads at roughly 7,500 nautical miles, enabling many nonstop intercontinental city pairs. The Global 6500 follows at about 6,600 nm. The Falcon 7X is close behind at around 5,950 nm. The Citation Hemisphere is typically quoted around 4,500 nm. The Praetor 600, despite its smaller category, reaches about 4,000 nm. For passenger capacity, typical executive seating is broadly similar across the large-cabin jets, commonly around 12–16 passengers depending on layout, with maximum certified counts higher. The Praetor 600 is usually arranged for about 8–12 passengers, reflecting its super-midsize cabin.
