TBM 910 vs P.180 Avanti EVO
The P.180 Avanti EVO leads, topping 6 of 7 compared metrics.
Cross-shopping the Daher (TBM) TBM 910 (introduced 2018) against the Piaggio Aerospace P.180 Avanti EVO (introduced 2014) is a common decision, and the two sit closer on paper than the badges suggest. Both are turboprops, which makes them natural cross-shopping rivals. The clearest separation between them is cabin capacity, where the P.180 Avanti EVO carries more passengers.

TBM 910 vs P.180 Avanti EVO: the key differences
- The TBM 910 delivers 18% more range (TBM 910: 1,730 nm; P.180 Avanti EVO: 1,470 nm).
- The P.180 Avanti EVO delivers 22% more cruise speed (TBM 910: 330 kt; P.180 Avanti EVO: 402 kt).
- The P.180 Avanti EVO delivers 50% more passenger capacity (TBM 910: 6 seats; P.180 Avanti EVO: 9 seats).
- The TBM 910 is the newer design (introduced 2018 versus 2014 for the P.180 Avanti EVO), a gap of 4 years that usually shows up in avionics, cabin systems and fuel burn.
- The P.180 Avanti EVO is the larger aircraft by maximum takeoff weight (12,100 lbs versus 7,394 lbs), which typically buys more cabin and payload at the cost of higher trip economics.
- The two differ in powerplant layout: the TBM 910 runs 1 engine against 2 on the P.180 Avanti EVO — a factor in redundancy, maintenance scope and operating cost.
Which mission suits which aircraft
Both aircraft are built for regional and short-to-medium legs, so outright range rarely separates them — the call leans on cabin (the P.180 Avanti EVO 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 TBM 910 when nonstop range is the deciding factor, and the P.180 Avanti EVO when cabin capacity and payload matter more; the P.180 Avanti EVO 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.
