Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Embraer Legacy 450 vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation M2 and Embraer Phenom 100EV are very light jets, typically used for short regional missions, with about 4–6 passengers in practical layouts and roughly 1,000–1,200 nm range. Stepping up, the Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet with notably longer legs (about 1,900–2,000 nm) and usually 6–8 passengers, balancing speed, cabin comfort, and operating economics. The Cessna Citation CJ3+ and CJ4 are also light jets; the CJ3+ generally offers around 1,800–2,000 nm range with 6–8 passengers, while the CJ4 stretches range to roughly 2,100+ nm and commonly seats 7–9, making it the longest-legged of the CJ family here. The Embraer Legacy 450 sits in the midsize/super-midsize cusp, carrying about 8–9 passengers with ~2,900 nm range for longer nonstop city pairs. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet with “utility” flexibility, typically 6–8 passengers and about 2,000 nm range, distinguished by rough-field capability and a large cargo door.
