Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Piaggio Avanti Evo
In category, the Bombardier Global 7500 and Dassault Falcon 8X are ultra-long-range large-cabin business jets, while the Embraer Legacy 650E is a long-range large-cabin jet, and the Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high-speed twin‑turboprop positioned in the light/midsize business segment. For range, the Global 7500 leads at roughly 7,700 nautical miles, enabling the longest nonstop city pairs of the group. The Falcon 8X follows closely at about 6,450 nautical miles, still firmly in ultra-long-range territory. The Legacy 650E typically offers around 3,900 nautical miles, suited to transatlantic missions with fewer extreme nonstop options. The Avanti EVO is shorter-range at roughly 1,700–1,900 nautical miles, optimized for regional and medium-haul flying rather than intercontinental legs. Passenger capacity also separates them: the Global 7500 commonly seats about 14–19 depending on layout, the Falcon 8X about 12–16, the Legacy 650E about 13 (often up to 14), and the Avanti EVO typically 7–9 passengers.
