The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 Gen2 occupies the light to lower midsize executive jet niche, offering transcontinental regional capability and high single-stage dispatch reliability driven by the twin Williams FJ44-4A engines. Competing models in the segment include other light jets with similar range and cabin capacities; buyer demand typically favors low operating costs, modern avionics suites like Collins Pro Line 21, and operator flexibility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect new-production status in 2025, manufacturer ownership, and the value benchmark of $11,855,000 as a baseline for market comparisons.
