Cessna Citation Longitude vs Dassault Falcon 6x vs Embraer Legacy 650e vs Embraer Praetor 600

The Cessna Citation Longitude and Embraer Praetor 600 sit in the super-midsize class, while the Dassault Falcon 6X and Embraer Legacy 650E are generally positioned in the large-cabin segment (with the 6X being a newer ultra-long-range large-cabin design and the 650E a traditional long-range large-cabin platform). In range terms, the Falcon 6X leads this group with roughly 5,500 nautical miles, enabling many true intercontinental missions. The Legacy 650E follows at about 3,900 nautical miles, suited to long transoceanic routes with a proven, roomy cabin. The Longitude offers about 3,500 nautical miles, covering most North America and many North Atlantic city pairs with fewer passengers than the big-cabin jets. The Praetor 600 is similar in mission length at around 3,300–3,400 nautical miles, competitive for a super-midsize. Typical passenger capacity trends from about 8–10 on the Praetor 600 and Longitude (often marketed up to around 12) to about 12–14 on the Legacy 650E, while the Falcon 6X is commonly configured around 12–16 depending on layout.
