Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation Latitude vs Cessna Citation Sovereign vs Cessna Citation Xls

The Cessna Citation CJ3+ and CJ4 are light jets, with the CJ3+ offering shorter range and typically seating about 6–8 passengers, while the CJ4 stretches both capability and cabin slightly, usually carrying about 7–9 passengers with a longer range. Moving up, the Citation XLS+ is a midsize jet, generally arranged for about 8–9 passengers and offering more cabin width and comfort than the CJ series, with a range that is typically longer than a CJ3+ and comparable to, or somewhat below, a CJ4 depending on mission profile. The Citation Latitude is a super-midsize jet, commonly configured for about 8–10 passengers and optimized for a noticeably larger, taller cabin with a longer range than the XLS+ and CJ models. The Citation Sovereign+ is also in the super-midsize class, usually seating about 8–12 passengers and emphasizing higher-speed cruise and strong runway performance, with a range that is generally comparable to or slightly better than the Latitude, and above the CJ and XLS+ lines.
