The Cessna Citation CJ4 and Embraer Phenom 300E are both light jets. The CJ4 is typically configured for about 7–9 passengers and offers a solid light-jet range around 2,000 nautical miles. The Phenom 300E is similarly a light jet, usually seating about 6–9, with a broadly comparable range in the roughly 2,000-nautical-mile class, often prioritized for speed and efficiency on shorter to mid-length missions. The Embraer Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 move up into the super-midsize category, with larger cabins and greater range than the light jets. The Praetor 500 commonly carries about 8–9 passengers and reaches roughly 3,300 nautical miles, while the Praetor 600 typically accommodates about 8–12 and extends range to around 4,000 nautical miles.
