The Citation M2 Gen2 offers a maximum range of about 1,550 nautical miles (≈2,871 km) at long‑range cruise with NBAA IFR reserves. Its top cruise speed is 404 knots true airspeed (≈ 748 km/h), and it can climb high to 41,000 feet. At maximum takeoff weight, it needs approximately 3,210 ft for takeoff, and about 2,590 ft for landing under standard conditions.
Cabin Comfort and Configuration
The cabin typically accommodates 6 to 7 passengers in standard layout, with a maximum of 7 occupants depending on configuration. Cabin interior dimensions are approximately 11 ft long, 4 ft 10 in wide, and 4 ft 9 in high. Baggage space (internal or accessible) is about 45.6 cubic feet, offering enough room for luggage for all passengers. The Gen2 variant also includes upgraded cabin finishes, lighting improvements, and enhanced storage features.
Onboard Amenities
Amenities include upgraded cabin lighting, accent lighting, USB‑A and USB‑C power ports at every seat, wireless charging options, and multiple texture/material/fabric choices for interiors. The Gen2 also improves cockpit ergonomics (e.g. legroom for copilot) and adds refined cabin touch details like improved cupholders, sidewall ledges, and durable surface finishes.
Technology and Flight Deck
The M2 Gen2 is powered by two Williams International FJ44‑1AP‑21 turbofan engines, each producing about 1,965 lb of thrust. It features the Garmin G3000 avionics suite with upgraded flight deck including autothrottles, modern navigation and situational awareness tools. Performance enhancements deliver strong climb rate, responsive control, and good efficiency for its class.
Cessna Citation M2 Certification
The Citation M2 Gen2 was announced in 2021, with deliveries beginning around 2022. The Gen2 is an updated version of the M2, retaining its FAA type certification basis, enhanced with upgraded interior, avionics, and performance features. It is currently in production and delivers improvements over the original M2, especially in cabin comfort, payload, and cockpit features.
