The Dassault Falcon 6X moves into the large‑cabin/long‑range category, generally configured for about 12–16 passengers (up to roughly 19), with a range around 5,500 nm class, targeting true intercontinental missions with a notably wider cabin. Embraer’s Phenom 100EV is a very light jet, typically 4–6 passengers, with about 1,100–1,200 nm class range. The Phenom 300E is a light jet, commonly 6–8 passengers, with roughly 2,000–2,200 nm class range. The Embraer Praetor 500 and 600 are super‑midsize jets. The Praetor 500 typically carries about 8–9 passengers with ~3,300 nm class range, while the Praetor 600 stretches to ~4,000 nm class range with similar seating, competing closely with the Falcon 2000 series.
