Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Legacy 650 E

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Embraer Legacy 650E are long-range business jets, while the Daher TBM 960 is a high-performance single-engine turboprop and the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a utility single-engine turboprop aimed more at short-haul, rugged operations. In range, the Global 7500 sits at the top with roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling true intercontinental missions with ample reserves. The Legacy 650E is also long-legged at about 3,900 nautical miles, well-suited to transoceanic or coast-to-coast missions with fewer nonstop city pairs than the Global. The TBM 960 typically offers around 1,700 nautical miles, optimized for fast regional trips into smaller airports. The Grand Caravan EX generally provides about 900–1,200 nautical miles depending on payload and conditions, focusing on practicality rather than speed or distance. Passenger capacity follows a similar pattern: the Global 7500 typically carries about 14–19, the Legacy 650E about 13–14, the TBM 960 usually 4–6, and the Grand Caravan EX commonly seats up to 9–14 depending on configuration.
