Bombardier Global 7500 vs Bombardier Global 6500 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G600 vs Gulfstream G650er

In category terms, the Bombardier Global 6500 and Gulfstream G500 sit in the large-cabin, long-range class, while the Bombardier Global 7500, Gulfstream G600, and Gulfstream G650ER are better described as ultra-long-range, large-cabin business jets, with the 7500 and G650ER typically viewed at the very top end of that segment. For range, the Global 7500 leads this group at about 7,700 nautical miles, followed closely by the G650ER at about 7,500 nm. The G600 extends into true ultra-long-range territory at about 6,600 nm, while the Global 6500 and G500 are slightly shorter-legged at roughly 6,600 nm and 5,300 nm respectively (depending on payload, winds, and reserves). For passenger capacity, all commonly seat around 12–16 in typical corporate layouts, but maximum certified seating differs: the Global 6500 is up to about 17, the Global 7500 up to about 19, the G500 up to about 19, the G600 up to about 19, and the G650ER up to about 19, with comfort and cabin zones usually favoring lower counts.
