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

The Cessna Citation M2 and Embraer Phenom 100EV are both very light jets aimed at short-to-midrange business trips, while the Pilatus PC-24 is a larger light jet positioned closer to “super light” capability with more cabin volume and mission flexibility. In range terms, the Phenom 100EV is typically the longest-legged of the two very light jets, with the Citation M2 close behind; both are well suited to regional flying rather than long transcontinental missions. The PC-24 generally offers a longer practical reach than either VLJ, especially when configured for fewer passengers or lighter loads, making it better for longer stage lengths. For passenger capacity, the Citation M2 and Phenom 100EV commonly seat around four to seven passengers depending on layout, with a compact cabin optimized for small groups. The PC-24 usually accommodates more, often six to eight in executive configurations, and can be set up for even higher counts in commuter-style layouts, with more room for baggage and a more versatile cabin.
