Cessna Citation Latitude vs Cessna Citation Sovereign vs Embraer Legacy 500 vs Embraer Legacy 650e vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Embraer Praetor 600

The Cessna Citation Latitude and Embraer Legacy 500 sit in the midsize category, typically seating about 7–9 passengers. Their ranges are broadly similar, with the Latitude generally around the mid‑2,000 to high‑2,000 nautical mile class and the Legacy 500 around the low‑to‑mid‑3,000 nautical mile class, depending on configuration and reserves. The Cessna Citation Sovereign+ and Embraer Praetor 600 are “super‑midsize” jets with about 8–10 passengers; both are built for longer missions than typical midsize aircraft, with the Sovereign+ roughly in the 3,000+ nm class and the Praetor 600 extending farther, commonly quoted around the upper‑3,000 nm class. The Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet, usually 6–8 passengers, optimized for efficiency and shorter runways, with a range generally in the low‑2,000 nm class. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large‑cabin jet, commonly 10–13 passengers, offering the biggest cabin of this group and long‑range capability in the 3,500+ nm class.
