The Citation Sovereign combined a stretched Citation Excel fuselage with an all-new, larger wing and Pratt & Whitney Canada PW306C engines, entering service in 2004 with a Honeywell Primus Epic cockpit. It pairs short-field performance with near-transcontinental range, and 349 were built before the Sovereign+ took over in 2013.
