Gulfstream G400 vs Gulfstream G500 vs Gulfstream G800 1

The Gulfstream G400 is positioned as the smaller, more range-limited large-cabin option in this trio, aimed at missions that prioritize a modern cabin and performance for typical intercontinental city pairs without stretching to the very longest routes. Its range is about 4,200 nautical miles, and it is generally configured for up to around 12 passengers, depending on layout. The Gulfstream G500 steps up into the long-range large-cabin category, offering notably greater intercontinental reach and a larger-feeling cabin environment. It provides about 5,300 nautical miles of range and typically accommodates up to about 19 passengers in higher-density configurations, though many owners choose fewer seats for more space. The Gulfstream G800 sits in the ultra-long-range flagship tier, built for the longest nonstop missions in the lineup. Its range is about 8,000 nautical miles, enabling more nonstop global city pairs than the G400 or G500, and it is commonly configured for up to about 19 passengers, with layouts often emphasizing multiple living zones over maximum seating.
