Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G700 are both ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jets, while the Piaggio Avanti EVO is a smaller, high‑speed twin‑turboprop positioned closer to the light/midsize business market in mission profile. In range, the G700 leads, offering roughly 7,500 nautical miles class capability, enabling nonstop city pairs like New York to Dubai under typical conditions. The Falcon 8X is close behind at about 6,450 nautical miles, also designed for intercontinental nonstop flying but with slightly less headline reach than the G700. The Avanti EVO is aimed at regional to medium missions, with a range around 1,700–1,800 nautical miles, prioritizing efficiency and speed for a turboprop rather than global legs. For passenger capacity, the G700 typically accommodates about 13–19 passengers depending on configuration, the Falcon 8X commonly seats around 12–16, and the Avanti EVO generally carries about 7–9 passengers.
