The Citation Sovereign+ is also super-midsize, known for strong runway performance, usually 8–10 passengers with roughly 3,000 nm range. The Citation Hemisphere, positioned as a long-range large-cabin concept, targets about 10–12 passengers with approximately 4,400+ nm range, bridging super-midsize comfort with near-long-range capability.
