The Cessna Citation Excel combines midsize cabin comfort with light jet operating economics. Powered by Pratt & Whitney PW545A engines and equipped with a stand-up cabin and generous baggage capacity, it offers a perfect balance of capability and efficiency. Cruising at 430 knots with a range of about 1,850 nautical miles, the Excel provides reliable performance for short- and medium-range missions while maintaining access to smaller airports. Its comfort, economy, and proven design have made it one of the best-selling midsize business jets in history.
The original model launched in 1998, featuring PW545A engines, Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics, and a spacious stand-up cabin designed to rival larger jets in comfort.
Introduced in 2004 with upgraded PW545B engines, an increased max takeoff weight, and a refined interior layout for improved passenger comfort and climb performance.
The latest evolution, adding full FADEC engine control, Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, and aerodynamic refinements for improved efficiency and reduced pilot workload.
