The Citation XLS+ updated the 560XL with a longer nose, FADEC-controlled Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545C engines and a Collins Pro Line 21 cockpit when it was certified in May 2008. It seats up to nine passengers in a stand-up cabin, flies 1,858 nm with NBAA IFR reserves and remained in production until the XLS Gen2 replaced it.
