Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

History
- 2012 - Sovereign+ announced at NBAA 2012
At NBAA in October 2012, in Orlando, Cessna announced the Sovereign+ as an evolution of the 680, with new Garmin G5000 avionics (Cessna Intrinzic), PW306D engines, standard winglets and integrated autothrottle.
NBAA Convention 2012 / Textron Aviation - 2013First flight
- 2013 - Sovereign+ first flight in April 2013
The first production aircraft made its first flight on April 24, 2013. FAA certification was obtained in December 2013, with first deliveries beginning in Q4 of that same year.
Cessna / FAA TCDS - 2013FAA certification
- 2013First deliveries
- 2014 - First Citation with factory Garmin G5000
Launched in 2014, the Sovereign+ was the first Citation to receive the Garmin G5000 cockpit with 3 touchscreen displays from the factory, marking Cessna's transition from the Honeywell Primus Epic to the Garmin platform. The choice would be repeated on the Latitude, Longitude and Ascend.
- 2014 - ANAC certification and deliveries in Brazil
Certification for operation in Brazil was obtained in 2014, with first Brazilian deliveries in the third quarter of 2014. Operators with the 680 type rating already in their fleets migrated naturally.
- 2014ANAC certification
- 2021 - More than 400 Sovereign series built
Adding the original Sovereign (350 units) and the Sovereign+ (about 90 units), the 680 platform delivered more than 440 jets between 2004 and 2021 before giving way to the Citation Longitude. This creates an installed base that supports parts, MRO and pilots over the long term.
- 2021 - Production ended in 2021
In March 2021, Textron Aviation confirmed the end of Citation Sovereign+ production to "minimize overlap with the Citation Latitude and the Citation Longitude". The last aircraft (s/n 680-0575+) left the line, for a total of 94 Sovereign+ produced.
- 2021End of production
Market position
Strengths
- Garmin G5000 (Intrinzic) with synthetic vision and touchscreen
- Integrated autothrottle, exclusive to the Sovereign+
- Standard "swooplet" winglets, 150 nm more range
- PW306D engine more economical than the original C
- Sovereign Shield 5 years / 1,500h included from the factory
Limitations
- Cabin identical to the Sovereign, no gain in space
- Succession by the Latitude/Longitude diluted the program
- Production ended in 2021, small installed base (94 units)
- Residual value hurt by proximity to the Latitude (same new price)

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Factory winglets reduce fuel burn
Unlike the original Sovereign (winglets optional via STC), the Sovereign+ comes with factory winglets that reduce induced drag by up to 5% and extended range to 3,200nm. On long missions, this means savings of 200-300 lb of fuel per leg.
Standard autothrottle simplifies operation
The Sovereign+ comes with Garmin autothrottle as standard, a feature still rare in legacy midsizes. This reduces crew workload in complex climbs/descents and improves fuel burn consistency, a significant operational advantage on long-haul missions.
Garmin G5000 Intrinzic, synthetic vision and touchscreen
The Cessna Intrinzic is the customized G5000 package, with three 14" screens on the main panel and four GTC 570 touchscreens. Includes SVT synthetic vision, GWX 70 weather radar, ChartView charts and SafeTaxi as standard.
Autothrottle, a first in the midsize segment
The Sovereign+ was one of the first midsize jets to offer integrated autothrottle. It reduces workload on descent and approach, particularly useful in single-pilot-trained operations or at high density altitude runways.
"Swooplet" winglets, 150 nm more range
The proprietary "swooplet" winglets were introduced as standard on the Sovereign+. They reduce induced drag and contributed to the range gain to 3,200 nm (vs. 2,730 for the original Sovereign) with more efficient PW306D engines.
Limitations
Limited production volume affects resale value
With only about 90 units produced in 7 years, the Sovereign+ has a smaller installed base than the original Sovereign, which may slightly pressure resale value compared with higher-volume types such as the XLS+ or Phenom 300. For fractional operators like NetJets, this factor influenced the preference for the Latitude/Longitude.
Only 94 units produced
With the Latitude launched in 2015 and the Longitude in 2019, the Sovereign+ had a short commercial window (2014-2021) and production of only 94 aircraft. The small installed base makes sourcing of parts for cannibalization harder and creates a maintenance premium.
Cabin identical to the Sovereign, no flat-floor
Despite advances in avionics and engines, the Sovereign+ kept the same drop-floor cabin as the original Sovereign. Buyers seeking a flat-floor stand-up cabin in the Cessna lineup were pushed toward the Latitude, one of the reasons for internal cannibalization.
Global curiosities
Brazil saw the type grow after 2020 via Solojet MRO
The Citation Sovereign/Sovereign+ gained traction in Brazil after 2020 as Solojet Serviços expanded MRO capability specific to the C680, attracting operators who previously had to send heavy maintenance to the US. Today there are more than 15 Sovereigns in the RAB ANAC (Brazil's aircraft registry), with continued growth expected.
Sovereign Shield, factory 5 year / 1,500h program
Unlike the original Sovereign, the Sovereign+ left the factory with the Sovereign Shield program: 5 years or 1,500 hours of comprehensive coverage (engine, avionics, scheduled parts). It reduced total cost of ownership in the first 5 years and was a sales differentiator against the Praetor 500.
Citation Longitude fuselage
When Cessna designed the Longitude (2019, super-midsize 3,500 nm), it reused as a starting point the fuselage created for the Latitude, stretched by about 5 feet.

In Brazil
Sovereign+ in Brazil, corporate operators
In Brazil, active Sovereign+ aircraft are mostly in the hands of companies that already operated the Sovereign 680 and upgraded. Familiarity with the 680 type rating and the maintenance network (CTA, Líder, Solojet) eases the transition.
