If you thought the Columbia 400 was fast, then buckle up for the Cessna Columbia 400XLS, the upgraded version that takes everything great about the 400 and turns it up a notch. Think of it as the 400 on an energy drink. Bigger, better, and faster this is the aircraft that puts the “XLS” in “eXtra Large Speed” (okay, maybe not literally, but you get the point).
The Columbia 400XLS: Speed and Power Combined
The Cessna Columbia 400XLS takes the already blazing fast 400 model and adds a touch more class, comfort, and performance. Powered by the same rock-solid Continental TSIO-550-C engine, it still pumps out a hefty 310 horsepower, but it feels smoother, like a well-oiled machine that’s been given the luxury treatment.
With a top speed of around 235 knots, you’ll still be flying faster than most single-engine piston aircraft out there. But the real magic is in the combination of speed and refinement this is a plane that lets you go full throttle without ever breaking a sweat.
Comfort and Style with XLS Flair
Flying fast doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort, and the Columbia 400XLS proves it. Inside, you’ll find an upgraded, spacious cabin with more luxurious seating and refined finishes. Whether you’re taking your family on a weekend getaway or impressing business clients, this plane’s interior says, “I fly fast, but I do it in style.”
The Garmin G1000 avionics suite makes flying not just a breeze, but a downright pleasure. It’s like having a co-pilot that does all the hard work, so you can sit back and enjoy the view (and maybe pretend you're in a private jet).
Performance That Thrills
The Columbia 400XLS is more than just a fast plane; it’s a high-performance machine designed for pilots who love to fly. It offers precision handling and quick response, making you feel like you’re flying a race car through the clouds. Whether you’re cruising at altitude or doing touch-and-goes at your local airstrip, the Columbia 400XLS is an absolute thrill to fly.
The aircraft’s composite design, aerodynamic efficiency, and turbocharged engine ensure that you’re getting the best possible performance out of every flight. In the world of single-engine piston aircraft, the Columbia 400XLS is a king of the skies.
Range and Efficiency
Flying fast is great, but not if you’re stopping every hour to refuel. Luckily, the Cessna Columbia 400XLS comes with an impressive range of about 1,250 nautical miles. That’s enough to get you from New York to Miami, or Los Angeles to Denver, without a single pit stop. Efficiency and speed? Now that’s what we call a win-win.
And with a useful load of around 1,000 pounds, you can bring your luggage, your golf clubs, and even a cooler full of snacks for the flight. Who says you can’t have it all?

The Columbia 400XLS is for the pilot who wants it all: speed, luxury, performance, and comfort. Whether you’re flying for business or pleasure, this aircraft delivers an unbeatable combination of efficiency and excitement.
