The Praetor 500 typically accommodates about 8–9 passengers and offers true transcontinental-style capability for its class (around 3,000+ nautical miles). The Sovereign+ generally seats about 8–12 and is known for strong range in the super-midsize segment (about 3,200 nautical miles). At the large-cabin end here, the Embraer Praetor 600 and Cessna Citation Longitude sit in the super-midsize/large-cabin crossover. Both commonly seat about 9–12 passengers; the Praetor 600 is around 4,000 nautical miles, and the Longitude is roughly 3,500–3,700 nautical miles.
