Cirrus Vision Jet G2 vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Honda Aircraft Hondajet Elite vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx
By category, the Cirrus Vision Jet G2 and HondaJet Elite are light “very light jet” personal/business jets, the Embraer Phenom 100EV is also a very light jet, the Embraer Phenom 300E is a light jet with higher performance, and the Pilatus PC-12 NGX is a single‑engine turboprop typically positioned as a versatile business/utility aircraft rather than a jet. For range, the Vision Jet G2 and Phenom 100EV sit in the shorter-to-mid range band for this group (roughly around 1,100–1,300 nm). The HondaJet Elite is broadly similar, sometimes a bit higher depending on configuration (around 1,200–1,400 nm). The Phenom 300E generally leads the jets here (about 2,000+ nm). The PC-12 NGX is competitive on range for many missions (often around 1,500–1,800 nm) with strong real-world flexibility. For passenger capacity, the Vision Jet G2 is typically configured for about 4–5 passengers plus a pilot (often marketed as up to 7 seats including small/optional seating). The Phenom 100EV and HondaJet Elite commonly carry about 4–5 passengers. The Phenom 300E usually accommodates about 6–8. The PC-12 NGX often seats 6–9 in executive layouts and can be configured for more in commuter arrangements.
