The Cirrus SR20 in brief
The Cirrus SR20 is the lower-powered sibling of the SR22: a four- to five-seat composite single with fixed gear, a glass cockpit and the CAPS whole-airframe parachute.
Flight schools and owner-pilots buy it for modern avionics and the parachute at a lower price and running cost than the SR22.
153 Cirrus SR20 listings are for sale across the sites Sprinkle reads as of Nov 12, 2026, built 2000–2026.
The middle half were built 2007–2023.
How the Cirrus SR20 performs
The SR20 is slower and climbs less briskly than the SR22, but cruises well for its power and burns less fuel. Later aircraft carry Garmin Perspective avionics.
By the catalog, the fastest variant cruises at 156 knots.
The longest book range across its variants is 760 nautical miles: still air, no reserves.
It seats up to 4 passengers.
