The Cessna 560XL Citation Excel occupies the light-midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin capacity and regional range exemplified by this airframe’s 1,847 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. Competitors in its market segment historically include other light-to-midsize cabins from manufacturers such as Bombardier and Embraer, where buyers and charter operators seek strong operating economics and flexible cabin layouts. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1999-built Excel like serial 560-5040 typically focus on engine time on the PW545 SER pair and completion/cabin refurbishment status, which materially affect market demand and valuation.
