Two Cessna Citation models preceded the XLS Gen2, the Citation XL and XLS. A spokesperson for Textron Aviation told Insider that the new model has is updated features including stairs in the cabin door, an entry curtain, and a larger cabin.

The most popular cabin configuration is a nine-seat space, but the jet can hold up to 12 passengers.

An additional pair of adjoining seats at the front of the cabin also fold down to create room for bags and other luggage.

Beside the seat pair, there are additional storage cupboards, space for a coffee machine, and a pull-out stone counter top ideal for slicing lemons and limes.

The cabin has adjustable lighting, and instead of built-in speakers, it is equipped with transducers that can be controlled from any Bluetooth device. "It's almost like being immersed in a speaker," a spokesperson said. "It's like being in a theatre with surround sound."

The jet also has a touchscreen that displays a flight map and controls temperature and lighting.

A spokesperson for Textron Aviation told Insider that the model is popular with charter companies as well as corporate customers because of the large cabin. A number of private individuals also use the jet to travel with families and pets.

Most of these private buyers tend to customize their jets, a spokesperson added, choosing from up to 20 design options.

The model I boarded had sustainable composite veneer tables made of oak and walnut, according to the company. Customers can also opt for customized stitching on the seats...
