Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Daher Tbm 960

The Cessna Citation CJ3+ and CJ4 are both light jets, while the Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop. In category terms, the CJ3+ targets efficient short‑to‑midrange jet travel, the CJ4 sits at the top of the CJ line with more capability and cabin room, and the TBM 960 emphasizes turboprop economy and access to shorter runways with jet‑like speeds for its class. For range, the CJ4 generally leads (about 2,000+ nautical miles), followed by the CJ3+ (roughly 1,800–2,000 nautical miles), with the TBM 960 typically in a similar but often slightly lower neighborhood depending on reserves and profile (around 1,700–1,900 nautical miles). For passenger capacity, the CJ3+ commonly seats about 6–9, the CJ4 about 8–10, and the TBM 960 is usually configured for about 4–6 passengers plus a pilot, with less cabin volume than the jets.
