Cessna Citation Longitude vs Cessna Citation Xls vs Dassault Falcon 2000lxs vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Pilatus Pc 24
The Embraer Phenom 100EV is a very light jet, best for short regional trips, typically seating about 4–7 passengers with roughly 1,000–1,200 nm range. The Embraer Phenom 300E and Cessna Citation XLS+ sit in the light-jet class, usually carrying about 6–9; the 300E generally offers the longer legs at about 2,000+ nm, while the XLS+ is closer to ~2,000 nm and emphasizes cabin comfort and runway flexibility. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet with “utility” capability, typically 6–10 passengers and about ~2,000 nm range, notable for rougher/shorter runway access. Stepping up, the Cessna Citation Longitude and Embraer Praetor 600 are super-midsize jets, commonly 8–12 passengers with transcontinental-capable ranges around ~3,500+ nm, with the Praetor typically slightly longer-legged. The Dassault Falcon 2000LXS is a large-cabin jet, often 8–14 passengers with ~4,000 nm class range. The Gulfstream G400 is a large-cabin, long-range jet, typically 10–14 passengers with about ~4,000+ nm range.
