Cessna Citation Latitude vs Cessna Citation Longitude vs Embraer Legacy 500 vs Gulfstream G280

The Cessna Citation Latitude and Embraer Legacy 500 sit in the midsize/super-midsize crossover space, while the Cessna Citation Longitude and Gulfstream G280 are typically considered super-midsize. In range, the Latitude is the shortest-legged of the four at roughly 2,700 nautical miles, suited to regional and many transcontinental U.S. missions. The Legacy 500 is similar, around 3,100 nautical miles. Stepping up, the Longitude extends capability to about 3,500 nautical miles, enabling more nonstop coast-to-coast flying with stronger international city-pair flexibility. The G280 leads this group on range at about 3,600 nautical miles, often favored for longer super-midsize missions. For passenger capacity, all commonly seat about 8 to 10 in typical executive layouts, with maximum certified seating generally higher (often into the low-to-mid teens depending on configuration). In practice, the Latitude and Legacy 500 are frequently equipped for comfortable 8–9 passenger missions, while the Longitude and G280 more often target 9–10 passengers with greater range margin.
