Being Cessna's upgraded version of the Citation III, the Citation VII is equipped with new avionics and upgraded engines which enhance both performance and power that situate it well to compete with most high end, midsize jets. Continuing the III's lofty standards, the Citation VII is able to fly nonstop for 1690 nm, at or above 43,000 feet and at speeds of up to 460 kts. Add to that over 18 luxurious feet of cabin space – comfortably seating 6-9 passengers – and the advantages of the Citation VII make it a clear choice for corporate and private charter.
