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

The Bombardier Global 7500 and Gulfstream G700 are ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jets designed for intercontinental missions, while the Piaggio Avanti EVO is a smaller, fast twin‑turboprop business aircraft aimed at shorter regional trips, and the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a rugged single‑engine utility turboprop typically used for commuter, cargo, and remote operations. On range, the Global 7500 and G700 sit at the top of this group, each capable of roughly 7,000+ nautical miles, enabling nonstop city pairs such as North America to Asia or deep transatlantic routes. The Avanti EVO is a mid‑range aircraft at roughly 1,700–1,900 nautical miles depending on payload and conditions, suited to multi‑hour regional flights. The Grand Caravan EX is shorter‑range by comparison, commonly around 900–1,000+ nautical miles with typical reserves, optimized more for flexibility than nonstop distance. Passenger capacity follows a similar pattern: the Global 7500 and G700 generally seat about 13–19 passengers in executive layouts, the Avanti EVO typically about 6–9, and the Grand Caravan EX can carry around 9 passengers (or significant cargo) in utility configurations.
