Cessna Citation Longitude vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500

The Cessna Citation Longitude and Embraer Praetor 600 are both super-midsize business jets, while the Gulfstream G400 and G500 sit in the larger long-range, large-cabin class. In range terms, the Longitude is designed for roughly 3,500 nautical miles, positioning it well for transcontinental U.S. missions and some North Atlantic city pairs with payload and winds considered. The Praetor 600 stretches that to about 4,000 nautical miles, giving it a clear edge among super-midsize options for longer nonstop missions. Gulfstream’s G400 is a true step up, targeting about 4,200 nautical miles with a larger cabin and higher cruise capability typical of the brand. The G500 goes further again at about 5,300 nautical miles, enabling more consistent intercontinental missions and greater routing flexibility. Passenger capacity overlaps but scales with cabin class: the Longitude and Praetor 600 typically carry around 8 to 12 passengers, whereas the G400 commonly seats about 10 to 14, and the G500 is often configured for roughly 12 to 16 passengers, with more space and comfort over long legs.
