Cessna Caravan vs Cessna Grand Caravan Ex vs Cirrus Vision Jet G2 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Caravan and Grand Caravan EX are single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft; they trade speed and cabin comfort for rugged short‑field capability. Typical range is roughly 900–1,200 nautical miles depending on load, with the standard Caravan usually carrying about 9 passengers (often up to 14 in high‑density commuter layouts) and the stretched Grand Caravan EX commonly around 10–14, again mission‑dependent. The Cirrus Vision Jet G2 is a single‑engine very light jet optimized for personal and small business travel. It generally offers about 1,200 nautical miles of range and typically seats 4–5 passengers plus a pilot, emphasizing efficiency and simplicity over payload. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a premium single‑engine turboprop, positioned between utility and business aviation. Range is commonly about 1,500–1,800 nautical miles, with seating typically 6–9 in executive layouts (and higher in commuter configurations). The Pilatus PC‑24 is a twin‑engine light jet with the most jet‑like performance of the group, usually around 1,900–2,000 nautical miles of range and seating typically 6–8 passengers, with a larger cabin than the Vision Jet and strong mission flexibility.
