CRJ700 vs E175-E2: the key differences
- The E175-E2 delivers 49% more range (CRJ700: 1,378 nm; E175-E2: 2,060 nm).
- The CRJ700 delivers 1% more cruise speed (CRJ700: 473 kt; E175-E2: 470 kt).
- The E175-E2 delivers 15% more passenger capacity (CRJ700: 78 seats; E175-E2: 90 seats).
- The E175-E2 is the newer design (introduced 2024 versus 2001 for the CRJ700), a gap of 23 years that usually shows up in avionics, cabin systems and fuel burn.
- The E175-E2 is the larger aircraft by maximum takeoff weight (98,768 lbs versus 75,000 lbs), which typically buys more cabin and payload at the cost of higher trip economics.
Which mission suits which aircraft
The E175-E2 is the stronger fit for transcontinental missions — its 2,060 nm of range removes fuel stops on those legs. The CRJ700, at 1,378 nm, is better matched to regional and short-to-medium legs, where lower trip cost counts for more than outright reach. If most of your flying sits inside the CRJ700's range, the E175-E2's extra capability is range you pay to carry but rarely use.
Which should you choose?
On published specifications the E175-E2 leads on both range and cabin capacity, so it suits operators who want maximum mission flexibility from a single airframe. The CRJ700 can still be the smarter buy on acquisition cost, operating economics, runway performance, or current availability — the factors that rarely show up in a spec sheet. Our acquisition advisory team can model both against your actual mission profile before you commit.
