Cessna Citation Latitude vs Cessna Citation Xls vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation Latitude sits in the midsize category, offering transcontinental-style range for many North American missions and typically seating about 7–9 passengers in a double-club configuration, with optional higher-density layouts. The Citation XLS+ is usually considered a “super light” jet: it carries roughly 7–9 passengers and has shorter range than the Latitude, though it remains strong for regional missions and short-to-medium city pairs. The Embraer Phenom 100EV is an entry-level very light jet, generally configured for about 4–6 passengers, with the shortest range of this group, best suited to shorter regional legs. The Phenom 300E is a light jet with notably longer range than the 100EV and commonly seats about 6–8 passengers; it’s often chosen for efficient medium-range trips with a larger, faster cabin-class step up. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet designed for versatility, typically carrying about 6–8 passengers with range broadly comparable to light jets like the Phenom 300E; its key distinction is combining jet speed with strong flexibility for shorter runways and rougher-field capability.
