Citation Latitude vs G150
The G150 leads, topping 4 of 7 compared metrics.
Cross-shopping the Cessna / Textron Aviation Citation Latitude (introduced 2015) against the Gulfstream Aerospace G150 (introduced 2006) is a common decision, and the two sit closer on paper than the badges suggest. Both are business jets, which makes them natural cross-shopping rivals. The clearest separation between them is cabin capacity, where the Citation Latitude carries more passengers.

Which mission suits which aircraft
Both aircraft are built for transcontinental missions, so outright range rarely separates them — the call leans on cabin (the Citation Latitude seats more), trip economics and what is actually available on the market. Match the airframe to how you fly most weeks, not to the headline range figure.
Which should you choose?
Choose the G150 when nonstop range is the deciding factor, and the Citation Latitude when cabin capacity and payload matter more; the G150 holds the cruise-speed edge. The right answer ultimately depends on acquisition cost, maintenance-program status, and what is actually available on the market — talk to our acquisition advisory team to pressure-test the choice against your missions and budget.
