The upcoming Citation M2 fits between the Mustang and the CJ2+, bridging the gap between an entry-level jet and a model that is slightly more established, and could be an option for first time buyers testing the waters. It has a maximum range of 1,300nm and comes with a completely redesigned cabin with new cabinets, more space efficient side rails and upgraded chairs. It also gives good hot-and-high airport performance, giving more flexibility on the destination airport.

The wing design incorporates a natural laminar flow airfoil. The wing leading edges are anti-iced using engine bleed air.

It is is outfitted with the Garmin G3000 avionics package, featuring touch screen controllers to reduce pilot workload. Icons replace knobs and buttons and are used for flight management tasks, setting radio frequencies, audio adjustment, synoptic and other functions.
