Bombardier Global 6500 vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Dassault Falcon 7x vs Embraer Praetor 600

In category, the Embraer Praetor 600 and Dassault Falcon 6X are large-cabin long-range business jets, while the Bombardier Global 6500 and Dassault Falcon 7X sit at the upper end of the long-range/ultra-long-range class with generally larger cabins and higher mission capability. For range, the Praetor 600 is typically the shortest-legged of the four at about 4,000 nautical miles class, suited to many transcontinental and some North Atlantic missions. The Falcon 7X is commonly cited around the 5,900 nautical mile class, enabling more consistent intercontinental city pairs. The Falcon 6X is broadly in the same long-range bracket, often quoted around 5,500 nautical miles, emphasizing cabin volume and comfort with strong range. The Global 6500 is usually the longest-range option here at roughly the 6,600 nautical mile class, aimed at longer nonstop intercontinental routes. For passenger capacity, all can be configured for roughly 8 to 16 passengers depending on layout, with typical executive arrangements around 10–14; the larger-cabin Global 6500 and Falcon 6X often support higher-density seating more comfortably than the Praetor 600.
