Cessna Citation Latitude vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Embraer Legacy 650e vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Embraer Praetor 600

The Cessna Citation M2 is a very light jet aimed at short regional trips, typically carrying about 4–6 passengers with an NBAA range around 1,150 nautical miles. Stepping up, the Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet with noticeably more cabin and speed, commonly seating 6–8 passengers and offering roughly 2,000 nautical miles of range. The Cessna Citation Latitude sits in the midsize category, usually configured for 7–9 passengers, with about 2,700 nautical miles of range, making it better suited to longer domestic or some transcontinental missions. The Embraer Praetor 600 is in the super-midsize class, generally accommodating 8–10 passengers and stretching range to about 4,000 nautical miles, enabling more consistent long-haul city pairs. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large-cabin jet derived from the ERJ platform, often arranged for 12–14 passengers and offering approximately 3,900 nautical miles of range, prioritizing cabin volume and comfort over the latest super-midsize efficiency.
