Cirrus has unveiled its 2026 SR Series G7+ updates for the SR20, SR22 and SR22T single-engine piston aircraft. The 2026 SR Series introduces new avionics features, expanded Cirrus Global Connect capabilities, refreshed design collections and colours, and a four-blade composite propeller upgrade option for the SR22. All 2026 aircraft models include G7+ generational updates – Safe Return Emergency Autoland, Automatic Database Updates powered by Cirrus IQ PRO Advanced, Runway Occupancy Awareness and Smart Pitot Heat.
“The 2026 SR Series G7+ provides our customers with more choice, more connectivity and more pilot convenience combined with revolutionary safety systems, such as the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) and Safe Return Emergency Autoland,” said Zean Nielsen, CEO at Cirrus.
Power and connectivity
The 2026 SR Series G7+ aircraft advances connectivity with enhancements to Cirrus Global Connect and higher-power USB-C ports designed to provide seamless power to modern devices like Starlink.
Cirrus Global Connect, a fully integrated global weather and communication solution for continuous global connectivity, now delivers a broader range of weather products, including storm cell movement, turbulence, icing, surface visibility and more. Weather updates are now automatic, delivered every five minutes along the flight route.
Upgraded high-power USB-C ports are now integrated into the cabin for every occupant. The new configuration includes two 60W USB-C ports in the front cabin and two 100W USB-C ports in the rear.
Pilots and passengers can communicate via the integrated Iridium network or bring a Starlink device on board.
Paint and design
The SR Series G7+ introduces two all-new premium collections for Carbon and Platinum liveries. The Carbon collection features intentional branding, while wing colour influences uniform striping colour with the Platinum collection. Cirrus has also added three new premium exterior paint colours – Tangerine, Maldives and Viridian – inspired by Cirrus Life adventures.
SR22 propeller option
Following the SR22T’s lead, the 2026 SR22 now features a standard three-blade composite propeller and, for the first time, introduces a new four-blade composite propeller upgrade.
Avionics
Recent software improvements to Cirrus’s Perspective Touch+ avionics introduce enhanced visual approach capabilities, allowing pilots to select various traffic pattern entries displayed on the moving map, which can be coupled with the autopilot. These features are available across compatible SR Series G7 and G7+ aircraft.
With Cirrus Perspective Touch+, up to nine display presets can be saved, each with a name.
11,000th SR Series aircraft
Cirrus also recently celebrated its 11,000th SR Series aircraft delivery with a special, one-of-one edition crafted by the Cirrus Xi Design Studio. Cabin materials include ‘Vision Green’ and ‘Concrete’ Alcantara, along with matte carbon fibre. To celebrate the milestone, the number 11 is incorporated on the fuselage, tail and inside the cabin.
