Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

The Cessna Citation M2 is an entry-level light jet, typically carrying about 4–6 passengers with roughly 1,200–1,300 nm range, suited to shorter, faster point-to-point trips. The Citation CJ3+ steps up as a light jet with about 6–8 passengers and around 2,000 nm range, offering a strong balance of speed and legs for regional missions. The Citation CJ4 is the largest of these Citations, often configured for about 8–10 passengers and roughly 2,100–2,200 nm range, making it the most capable choice here for longer nonstop segments while staying in the light-jet class. The Pilatus PC-12 NGX is a single-engine turboprop, commonly seating about 6–9 passengers with about 1,700–1,800 nm range, prized for cabin utility and short/rough-field access more than jet speed. The Piper M600 SLS is a single-engine turboprop in a smaller, owner-flown category, generally carrying about 4–6 passengers with roughly 1,400–1,600 nm range, emphasizing simplicity and efficiency over maximum capacity.
