Bombardier Global 7500 vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo
In category, the Bombardier Global 7500, Dassault Falcon 8X, and Gulfstream G700 are ultra-long-range large-cabin business jets, designed for intercontinental missions with full-size stand-up cabins and multiple living zones. The Piaggio Avanti EVO sits in a different category: a high-speed turboprop with a smaller cabin and a mission profile focused on efficient regional-to-medium range travel. For range, the Global 7500 is typically the longest-legged of the group at about 7,700 nautical miles, enabling missions such as New York–Hong Kong under favorable conditions. The G700 is close behind at roughly 7,500 nautical miles, while the Falcon 8X offers about 6,450 nautical miles, still firmly in the true long-range class. The Avanti EVO is much shorter-range at around 1,700–1,800 nautical miles, though it is efficient for its segment. Passenger capacity follows the same split. The Global 7500 and G700 commonly seat around 12–16 passengers (with higher maximum configurations), the Falcon 8X is similar, often 12–16, while the Avanti EVO is typically configured for about 6–8 passengers.
