Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G650er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Gulfstream G800 1
The Gulfstream G400 and G500 sit in the large-cabin segment, with the G400 positioned as the shorter-range option and the G500 offering more transcontinental capability. Typical passenger counts for both are in the high single digits to low teens depending on layout, with maximum certified seating higher but rarely used in executive configurations. Moving up, the G650ER is a long-range, ultra-long-range benchmark, designed for very long nonstop city pairs and generally configured for roughly a dozen to around twenty passengers in comfort. The G700 is Gulfstream’s newer flagship in the ultra-long-range class, pairing near–top-tier range with the largest and most flexible cabin of the group, often configured for a similar passenger count to the G650ER but with more living zones. The G800 also sits in the ultra-long-range category and is aimed at maximum range in the lineup, typically matching or slightly exceeding the G650ER’s endurance while offering a cabin closer to the G700/G650 family than the G500.
