SR22T vs P2010
The SR22T leads, topping 5 of 7 compared metrics.
The Cirrus Aircraft SR22T (introduced 2009) and the Tecnam P2010 (introduced 2013) are two aircraft buyers regularly weigh against each other. Both are piston singles, which makes them natural cross-shopping rivals. The clearest separation between them is range, where the SR22T has the advantage. Below we compare them spec by spec, then break down which aircraft suits which mission.

SR22T vs P2010: the key differences
- The SR22T delivers 15% more range (SR22T: 1,021 nm; P2010: 890 nm).
- The SR22T delivers 55% more cruise speed (SR22T: 214 kt; P2010: 138 kt).
- The SR22T and P2010 are evenly matched on passenger capacity, both at 4 seats.
- The P2010 is the newer design (introduced 2013 versus 2009 for the SR22T), a gap of 4 years that usually shows up in avionics, cabin systems and fuel burn.
- The SR22T is the larger aircraft by maximum takeoff weight (3,600 lbs versus 2,756 lbs), which typically buys more cabin and payload at the cost of higher trip economics.
Which mission suits which aircraft
The SR22T is the stronger fit for regional and short-to-medium legs — its 1,021 nm of range removes fuel stops on those legs. The P2010, at 890 nm, is better matched to short-haul and regional hops, where lower trip cost counts for more than outright reach. If most of your flying sits inside the P2010's range, the SR22T's extra capability is range you pay to carry but rarely use.
Which should you choose?
On published specifications the SR22T leads on both range and cabin capacity, so it suits operators who want maximum mission flexibility from a single airframe. The P2010 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.
