Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Daher Tbm 910 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Cessna Citation M2 and CJ3+ are light jets aimed at short-to-midrange business trips, while the Daher TBM 910 is a high-performance single‑engine turboprop and the Piaggio Avanti EVO is a fast, pressurized twin‑turboprop often positioned between turboprops and light jets in cruise performance. In range terms, the Citation M2 is the shortest-legged of the group at roughly about 1,500 nautical miles. The TBM 910 typically reaches around 1,700 nautical miles, depending on power settings and reserves. The Citation CJ3+ generally offers the longest range here at about 2,000 nautical miles. The Avanti EVO is usually in the same general bracket as the CJ3+, commonly around the 1,700–2,000 nautical mile class. For passenger capacity, the Citation M2 is typically configured for about 4–5 passengers in a compact cabin. The TBM 910 commonly carries 4–6 passengers, with maximum seating higher but more mission-dependent. The Citation CJ3+ usually seats about 6–7 passengers. The Avanti EVO often seats 7–8 passengers, with a cabin that feels notably roomy for its class.
