The Modern Standard for Midsize Value

The XLS+ (introduced in 2008) and the subsequent Gen2 (2021) represent the ultimate refinement of the world’s best-selling business jet platform. The XLS+ upgraded the engines and added the FADEC system (Full Authority Digital Engine Control), which simplified pilot workload and increased efficiency. The Gen2 model focused on the "passenger of the future," introducing wireless charging, upgraded acoustics, and a more illuminated entryway.

Why the XLS+ Series Dominates

The XLS+ wins because it is the most cost-effective stand-up cabin on the market. It offers the best "bang for your buck" in terms of cabin volume versus hourly operating costs. The "winning" feature is its simplicity; it is a reliable, high-utilization aircraft that holds its value better than almost any other jet in its class. The Gen2 specifically appeals to the tech-savvy traveler, offering a modern interior feel that rivals jets costing twice as much.

Efficiency and Cabin Comfort

The Citation XLS+ Gen2 is a masterpiece of practical luxury, offering the cabin space of a midsize jet with the operational agility of a light jet. It accommodates up to nine passengers in a generous stand-up cabin featuring a flat floor and a large refreshment center. Powered by Pratt & Whitney PW545C engines, it cruises at 441 knots with a range of 2,100 nautical miles. While the XLS+ features the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, the Gen2 enhances the experience with a modern, redesigned interior and updated cabin tech, ensuring it remains the preferred choice for regional business travel.
