Bombardier Global 7500 vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Gulfstream G700

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are ultra-long-range business jets designed for intercontinental travel, while the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop aimed at short-haul utility, regional, and rugged-field operations. In range, the Global 7500 leads at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling nonstop missions such as New York to Hong Kong in favorable conditions; the G700 is close behind at about 7,500 nautical miles, also targeting true long-haul nonstop city pairs. The Grand Caravan EX is in a different league, typically around 900–1,200 nautical miles depending on payload and reserves, optimized for shorter sectors rather than ocean-crossing legs. Passenger capacity also reflects the roles: the Global 7500 and G700 commonly seat about 10–16 passengers in executive layouts (with maximum configurations higher), prioritizing space, lie-flat sleeping, and premium cabin amenities. The Grand Caravan EX generally carries up to about 9 passengers (plus crew) in commuter or charter setups, prioritizing practicality and cargo flexibility over luxury.
