Piper Malibu Aircraft in United States
United States is the world's largest GA market with the highest concentration of aircraft, dealers, MRO facilities and flight infrastructure. FAA certification standards, N-registration. Most TBM/PC-12/Cirrus production aircraft sold in the US used market are N-registered with full FAA documentation.
The Piper PA-46 is the pressurised, cabin-class single that bridges high-performance piston flying and owner-flown turboprop travel. The line runs from the piston Malibu (Continental TSIO-520), the Lycoming-powered Mirage and unpressurised Matrix (today's M350), to the turboprop Meridian (M500), the bigger-wing M600 and the latest M700 Fury. Every PA-46 has a stand-up cabin, club seating and a known-ice option, and the line is the natural step up for owners moving past piston Cherokees and Saratogas toward turbine performance.

Piper Malibu Variants
| Variant | Years | Seats | Cruise | Range | Useful load | Price range | Best for | Listings for sale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meridian | 2000–2026 | 6 | 241 kts (446 km/h) | 1,000 nm (1,852 km) | 1,362 lbs (618 kg) | $725K – $2.4M | Buy a Meridian/M500 for an affordable, owner-flyable PT6A turboprop with pressurised cabin comfort. Step up to the M600 or M700 Fury for the bigger wing, longer range, higher speed and Garmin G3000; consider a JetProp conversion as a lower-cost route into PA-46 turbine power. | 39 |
| Matrix | 2008–now | 6 | 195 kts (361 km/h) | 1,200 nm (2,222 km) | 1,343 lbs (609 kg) | $438K – $765K | Buy a Matrix if you want PA-46 cabin space and speed without paying for, or maintaining, a pressurisation system. Step up to the pressurised Mirage or M350 if you regularly fly in the high flight levels, or to the Meridian/M500 turboprop for turbine performance. | 10 |
| M350 | 2015–now | 6 | 200 kts (370 km/h) | 1,343 nm (2,487 km) | 1,220 lbs (553 kg) | $575K – $2.1M | Buy an M350 for the newest pressurised piston PA-46 with current Garmin glass; choose an earlier Mirage to get most of the same capability for less. Step up to the Meridian/M500 turboprop if you want turbine simplicity and higher cruise speed. | 18 |
| M600 | 2016–now | 6 | 274 kts (507 km/h) | 1,484 nm (2,748 km) | 2,400 lbs (1,089 kg) | $2.8M – $3.2M | Buy an M600 for a modern, long-range PT6A single with G3000 glass and, on SLS examples, Garmin emergency Autoland. Step down to the Meridian/M500 for a lower-cost turboprop, or up to the M700 Fury for the newest, most powerful PA-46. | 7 |
| M700 | 2023–now | 6 | 301 kts (557 km/h) | 1,437 nm (2,661 km) | 1,772 lbs (804 kg) | — | Buy an M700 Fury for the most power, speed and the newest avionics in the PA-46 family. Choose the M600 to save money while keeping the same wing and G3000, or the Meridian/M500 for the most affordable PA-46 turboprop. | 1 |
| Malibu JetProp | — | 6 | 260 kts (482 km/h) | 1,000 nm (1,852 km) | 1,200 lbs (544 kg) | — | Buy a JetProp if you want PA-46 turboprop performance for less than a factory Meridian/M500, on a well-known PT6A engine. Consider a factory Meridian for original turbine certification and integrated avionics, or stay piston with a Mirage/M350 if turbine operating costs aren't justified. | 3 |
| Mirage | — | 6 | 213 kts (394 km/h) | 1,345 nm (2,491 km) | 1,230 lbs (558 kg) | $257K – $1M | Buy a Mirage for pressurised piston travel with the more durable Lycoming engine, at a lower price than the newer M350. Consider the unpressurised Matrix to cut cost and complexity, or step up to the Meridian/M500 turboprop for turbine simplicity and speed. | 33 |
