Cessna Citation M2 vs Cirrus Vision Jet G2 vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Phenom 300e

The Cessna Citation M2, Cirrus Vision Jet G2, Embraer Phenom 100EV, and Embraer Phenom 300E span from personal jets to light jets. The Vision Jet G2 is best seen as a personal very light jet with a single engine; it typically offers seating for about five adults plus up to two smaller occupants, with range in the roughly 1,200–1,300 nautical mile class depending on reserves and load. The Citation M2 and Phenom 100EV are twin‑engine very light jets; both generally seat about four to six passengers in typical executive layouts, with the M2 offering around 1,500 nm range and the 100EV roughly 1,100–1,200 nm. The Phenom 300E is a step up into the light‑jet category, usually carrying six to nine occupants depending on configuration, and it delivers substantially more reach at about 2,000–2,200 nm, making it the most capable of the group for longer nonstop missions.
