Cessna 172B Variants
| Variant | Years | Seats | Cruise | Range | Useful load | Price range | Best for | Listings for sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 172 | 1956–now | 4 | 118 kts (219 km/h) | 518 nm (959 km) | 878 lbs (398 kg) | $18K – $395K | Choose the fixed-gear 172 for the most affordable, best-supported and easiest-to-insure four-seat single — the standard trainer and touring aircraft worldwide. Choose the 172RG Cutlass for retractable-gear speed and complex-aircraft time-building. Choose the R172 Hawk XP for extra power and useful load over the standard 172. | 15 |
| 172G | 1966–1966 | 4 | 114 kts (211 km/h) | 575 nm (1,065 km) | 850 lbs (386 kg) | — | Choose the 172G for the lowest-cost entry into the Skyhawk family, accepting the O-300's narrower support for classic character. | 3 |
| 172K | 1969–1971 | 4 | 115 kts (213 km/h) | 580 nm (1,074 km) | 850 lbs (386 kg) | $62K – $204K | Choose the 172K for an affordable early Lycoming Skyhawk with the clean O-320-E2D engine and the large 172 support network. | 14 |
| 172L | 1971–1972 | 4 | 122 kts (226 km/h) | 640 nm (1,185 km) | 878 lbs (398 kg) | $79K – $179K | An early-1970s Skyhawk — an affordable, well-supported four-seat high-wing trainer and tourer. | 11 |
| 172M | 1973–1976 | 4 | 122 kts (226 km/h) | 580 nm (1,074 km) | 900 lbs (408 kg) | — | Choose the 172M for a clean O-320-E2D Skyhawk without the 172N's early-engine AD complications, at lower cost than the youngest 172P. | 3 |
| 172N | 1976–1980 | 4 | 122 kts (226 km/h) | 640 nm (1,185 km) | 878 lbs (398 kg) | — | A late-1970s Skyhawk — a high-volume, low-cost four-seat trainer and tourer that is one of the most common used 172s. | 1 |
| R172 Hawk XP | 1977–1983 | 4 | 129 kts (239 km/h) | 569 nm (1,054 km) | 1,010 lbs (458 kg) | $93K – $255K | Buy the R172 Hawk XP if you want a Skyhawk with real muscle — 195 hp for stronger climb, short-field and float performance than any standard 172. Consider a standard 172 for the lowest running cost and the deepest support network, or a 182 if you need four full seats with baggage. | 26 |
| 172RG | 1980–1985 | 4 | 140 kts (259 km/h) | 720 nm (1,333 km) | 950 lbs (431 kg) | $55K – $222K | Buy the 172RG Cutlass if you want an affordable complex single for the retractable and complex endorsement or for time-building. Consider a fixed-gear 172 if you want the lowest maintenance and insurance, or a 182 if straightforward cross-country hauling matters more than complex-aircraft experience. | 28 |
| 172P | 1981–1985 | 4 | 122 kts (226 km/h) | 640 nm (1,185 km) | 878 lbs (398 kg) | $102K – $324K | A common early-1980s Skyhawk — a low-cost, well-supported four-seat high-wing trainer and tourer. | 15 |
| 172R | 1996–2007 | 4 | 120 kts (222 km/h) | 520 nm (963 km) | 878 lbs (398 kg) | $169K – $240K | A modern fuel-injected Skyhawk — a four-seat high-wing trainer and tourer just below the 172S in the current-generation line. | 10 |
| 172S | 1998–now | 4 | 124 kts (230 km/h) | 518 nm (959 km) | 878 lbs (398 kg) | $207K – $539K | The current-production, fuel-injected Skyhawk — the newest four-seat high-wing trainer to buy if you want a glass-panel, in-production 172. | 25 |
