Cessna Citation VI: Complete Specs, Performance, and Buyer's Guide (2026)
The Cessna Citation VI (Model 650, in production from 1991 to 1995) is the economy-spec variant of the Citation III featuring a standardized avionics package and generic cabin interior to reduce acquisition cost. Per Jetcraft: "Designed as a more economical version of the Citation III, the new Citation VI model delivered lower operating costs plus good speed and range capabilities. It was equipped with a basic standardized avionics package and a generic cabin interior without the option of custom interiors. Unlike the digital autopilot of the Citation III, the Citation VI uses an analog version to cut cost and weight." In 1990, Cessna canceled the planned bigger/longer-range/more expensive Citation IV (Model 670) in favor of offering the cheaper Citation VI and more capable Citation VII. For $1.4 million less than the $8.1 million Citation III, the Citation VI featured a standard interior and was to be delivered from April 1991. The Citation VI first flew in February 1991 and was certificated in January 1992 under an amendment to the original Model 650 type certificate. Per JetAV: "While the Citation VI was physically the same aircraft as the earlier Citation III, it was offered at a lower initial cost because Cessna was able to limit interior options and standardize the avionics package." Powered by two Honeywell (Garrett) TFE731-3B-100S two-spool geared turbofan engines (each producing 3,650 lbf of thrust, same as Citation III), the Citation VI delivers Mach 0.83 max cruise, 1,770-1,800 nm range NBAA IFR with 4 passengers, 51,000 ft service ceiling. Cabin: 18.7 ft length, 5.7 ft width, 5.8 ft height, 438 cu ft volume - same standard double-club interior as Citation III seating up to 7-9 passengers. 61 cu ft baggage volume. Standard double-club seating with two pilots. Honeywell digital SPZ-8000 flight control system with analog autopilot (vs Citation III's digital). Honeywell EDZ-600 EFIS, Honeywell 8000 EGPWS, Sperry Primus 300SL color radar. Dual Collins Pro Line avionics, TAWS B, RVSM, EFIS, MSP, TCAS II, APU, ADS-B (per FindAircraft). Wing span 53 ft 6 in. Length 55 ft 6 in. Height 16 ft 10 in. Aircraft was discontinued in May 1995 after only 38-39 aircraft were built. Per Jettly: "Cessna found that few potential customers would settle for a relatively austere budget-focused mid-sized jet; most were focused on luxury and prestige, and were more likely to either buy a preowned business jet with the features they wanted, or pay the premium for the more upscale cabin furnishings offered in the Citation VII." Cessna VI list price: $7.23M vs Citation III's $8.05M equipped price. Of 38-39 built, 36 in operation today (50% with ADS-B Out installed). Pre-owned per Jettly: $1.2M. Per BusinessAirNews: $650K-$2.32M pre-owned. 251 GPH combined fuel burn per Jetcraft. Production wound up in May 1995 to focus on the more successful Citation VII.
For operators wanting Cessna's economy-spec Citation III variant with standardized Honeywell SPZ-8000 avionics with analog autopilot, generic standard double-club cabin interior, two proven TFE731-3B-100S engines (3,650 lbf each, same as Citation III), 1,770-1,800 nm range, 51,000 ft service ceiling, 438 cu ft cabin volume, trailing link landing gear for smooth taxi and landings, FAR Part 25 commercial-grade certification, and accessible $1.2M pre-owned market, the Citation VI represents Cessna's accessible-entry Heritage Citation III variant.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Citation VI different from the Citation III?
The Citation VI (1991-1995) is the economy-spec variant of the Citation III (1983-1992). Per JetAV: "While the Citation VI was physically the same aircraft as the earlier Citation III, it was offered at a lower initial cost because Cessna was able to limit interior options and standardize the avionics package." Same airframe, same TFE731-3B-100S engines, same 438 cu ft cabin. Key differences: VI has standardized avionics (vs Citation III's customizable) priced $1.4M less ($7.23M vs $8.05M), standardized interior (no custom options), analog autopilot (vs Citation III's digital - cost/weight reduction).
How is the Citation VI different from the Citation VII?
The Citation VII (1992-2000) is the more powerful sibling of the Citation VI. Key differences: VII has more powerful TFE731-4R-2S engines at 4,080 lbf each (vs VI's TFE731-3B at 3,650 lbf), improved payload-range and hot-and-high performance, custom interiors with wide range of trim/seat fabrics/galley equipment/entertainment options, full-width aft lavatory that could be outfitted as dressing room, redesigned cabin to reduce ambient noise. 119 Citation VIIs built vs 38-39 Citation VIs.

Two Honeywell (Garrett) TFE731-3B-100S two-spool geared turbofan engines, each producing 3,650 lbf of thrust. Same engines as Citation III. 251 GPH combined fuel burn per Jetcraft.
How far can a Citation VI fly?
The Citation VI has a range of 1,770-1,800 nm with 4 passengers per Jettly (1,833 nm NBAA IFR per Jetcraft). This enables non-stop routes like New York to Miami, Toronto to Dallas.
Why did Citation VI production end so quickly?
The Citation VI was discontinued in May 1995 after only 38-39 aircraft were built. Per Jettly: "Cessna found that few potential customers would settle for a relatively austere budget-focused mid-sized jet; most were focused on luxury and prestige, and were more likely to either buy a preowned business jet with the features they wanted, or pay the premium for the more upscale cabin furnishings offered in the Citation VII." Production was wound up in favor of the more successful Citation VII.
What's the Citation VI pre-owned market like?
Pre-owned Citation VI market per Jettly: ~$1.2M. Per BusinessAirNews: $650K-$2.32M. Original list price at launch: $7.23M (1991). The Citation VI represents accessible-entry midsize Citation heritage with strong cost positioning vs Citation III ($1M pre-owned) and Citation VII ($2M+ pre-owned).
The Bottom Line
The Cessna Citation VI (Model 650 amendment, in production from 1991 to 1995) represents Cessna's strategic attempt to offer an economy-spec variant of the established Citation III - which ultimately failed in the market with only 38-39 aircraft built. With substantial accessible-entry capabilities (same Honeywell/Garrett TFE731-3B-100S two-spool geared turbofan engines as Citation III providing 3,650 lbf each with 7,300 lbf total thrust + 99%+ dispatch reliability + 251 GPH combined fuel burn per Jetcraft, Honeywell digital SPZ-8000 flight control system with analog autopilot replacing Citation III's digital for cost and weight reduction + Honeywell EDZ-600 EFIS + Honeywell 8000 EGPWS + Sperry Primus 300SL color radar + FAR Part 25 certification at commercial jet standards, Mach 0.83 max cruise, 1,770-1,833 nm range with 4 passengers NBAA IFR per Jetcraft / Jettly enabling routes like New York to Miami and Toronto to Dallas non-stop, 51,000 ft service ceiling industry-leading for midsize class, same 438 cu ft cabin as Citation III with 18.7 ft length + 5.7 ft width + 5.8 ft stand-up height + 61 cu ft baggage in standardized double-club configuration with no custom interior options + fully enclosed lavatory, trailing link landing gear providing smooth taxiing and landings, FAR Part 36 noise compliance), the Citation VI delivered Cessna's accessible-entry midsize Heritage Citation III variant. Per JetAV: "While the Citation VI was physically the same aircraft as the earlier Citation III, it was offered at a lower initial cost because Cessna was able to limit interior options and standardize the avionics package." Per Jetcraft: "Designed as a more economical version of the Citation III, the new Citation VI model delivered lower operating costs plus good speed and range capabilities. It was equipped with a basic standardized avionics package and a generic cabin interior without the option of custom interiors." In 1990, Cessna canceled the planned bigger/longer-range/more expensive Citation IV (Model 670) in favor of offering the cheaper Citation VI ($1.4M less than $8.1M Citation III) and the more capable Citation VII. The Citation VI first flew in February 1991, was delivered from April 1991, and was certificated in January 1992 under an amendment to the original Model 650 type certificate. Standard configuration accommodates 7 passengers typical (up to 9 maximum) with 2 pilots in a standardized double-club layout with fully enclosed lavatory. Per Jettly: "Cessna found that few potential customers would settle for a relatively austere budget-focused mid-sized jet; most were focused on luxury and prestige, and were more likely to either buy a preowned business jet with the features they wanted, or pay the premium for the more upscale cabin furnishings offered in the Citation VII." Production was wound up in May 1995 after only 38-39 aircraft were built - production was ended in favor of the more successful Citation VII which continued in production through 2000. Of the 38-39 built, 36 are in operation today per Jetcraft 2018 / Jettly 2024 (50% with ADS-B Out installed, dispatch rates exceeding 99% in Citation fleet statistics). North America has the largest percentage of wholly owned Citation VI aircraft (74%), followed by Europe (9%) and Asia (9%). List price at launch: $7.23M (1991). Pre-owned market per Jettly: ~$1.2M. Per BusinessAirNews: $650K-$2.32M. Premium Citation heritage. Strong residual value within Heritage Citation market. Modern customization potential. Cessna (Textron Aviation) worldwide service network continues to support the Citation VI platform.
