The PC-24 leads, topping 7 of 7 compared metrics.
Cross-shopping the Embraer Executive Jets Phenom 100EV (introduced 2016) against the Pilatus Aircraft PC-24 (introduced 2018) 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 range, where the PC-24 has the advantage.

Which mission suits which aircraft
The PC-24 is the stronger fit for transcontinental missions — its 2,000 nm of range removes fuel stops on those legs. The Phenom 100EV, at 1,178 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 Phenom 100EV's range, the PC-24's extra capability is range you pay to carry but rarely use.
Which should you choose?
On published specifications the PC-24 leads on both range and cabin capacity, so it suits operators who want maximum mission flexibility from a single airframe. The Phenom 100EV 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.
