Cessna Citation M2 vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Cessna Citation M2 and Embraer Phenom 100EV are very light jets aimed at short-to-medium business trips, typically flown with four to six passengers in comfort (often up to about seven with tight seating). In range, they generally sit around the “roughly 1,100–1,300 nm” class depending on load, reserves, and conditions, with the Phenom 100EV often cited toward the upper end of that band and the M2 close behind. The Pilatus PC-12 NGX is a single-engine turboprop rather than a jet, prioritizing versatility, runway flexibility, and cabin utility. It usually carries six to nine passengers (with higher-density layouts possible) and offers longer practical range than the very light jets, commonly around the “about 1,500+ nm” class, again varying by payload and mission profile. The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet positioned above the M2/Phenom 100EV in size and capability, typically seating six to eight passengers (more in commuter-style layouts) and offering a longer mission envelope, often around roughly 1,900–2,000 nm, with the added benefit of strong short/rough-field performance for a jet.
