Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Phenom 300e"

All five are light jets, but they split into two size classes. The Cessna Citation M2 and Embraer Phenom 100EV are entry-level light jets aimed at shorter missions; each typically carries about 4–6 passengers (up to 7 in some configurations) with ranges roughly around 1,100–1,300 nautical miles. Stepping up, the Cessna Citation CJ3+ and Embraer Phenom 300E are “super light” jets with noticeably more capability, commonly seating about 6–8 passengers (often up to 9) and offering ranges roughly in the 1,900–2,200 nautical mile class. The Cessna Citation CJ4 is also in the super-light category but generally the largest and longest-legged of the Citation CJ line here, typically carrying about 7–9 passengers with range commonly quoted around 2,100–2,200 nautical miles. In broad terms, M2 and Phenom 100EV fit regional hops; CJ3+ and Phenom 300E suit longer point-to-point missions; and the CJ4 emphasizes maximum cabin/payload flexibility with similar or slightly greater range.
