Which Should You Buy: Bombardier Challenger 350 or Cessna Citation Latitude?

Bottom line: Choose the Challenger 350 for super-midsize cabin and range — the widest cabin in class, more range and deep operator support. Choose the Latitude for efficient midsize comfort — a wide flat-floor cabin at a lower acquisition and operating cost, ideal for regional and transcontinental trips. On safety both are twin-engine jets with engine-out redundancy and strong records; the divide is class, cabin and range, not safety. Super-midsize reach, or efficient midsize value.

Pick the Challenger 350 if…

  • More seats — 10 vs 9.
  • Faster cruise — 459 kts vs 446 kts.
  • Longer range — 3200 nm vs 2700 nm.
  • More inventory — 18 listings vs 11.

Pick the Citation Latitude if…

  • Budget matters — from $16,000,000 vs $17,140,500, you save ~$1,140,500.
  • Lower operating cost — ~$3000/hr vs $3800/hr.
  • Newer design — production from 2015 vs 2014.
