Cirrus is flying into the new year with the release of its 2026 SR Series G7+ for the SR20, SR22, and SR22T.

According to the manufacturer, the new SR Series includes refinements such as new avionics and expanded Cirrus Global Connect capabilities along with aesthetic enhancements of new colors. All the models include G7+ generational updates such as Safe Return Emergency Autoland, automatic database updates powered by Cirrus IQ Pro Advanced, runway occupancy awareness, and smart pitot heat.

Cirrus continues to update and enhance its Perspective Touch+ avionics by adding new features that improve pilot situational awareness while simultaneously reducing workload. Cirrus Perspective Touch+ includes convenient display presets that provide quick, easy access to manage the windows on each display.

“Recent software improvements 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,” Cirrus said in a news release. “These features are part of Cirrus’ ongoing innovation strategy and are available across compatible SR Series G7 and G7+ aircraft.”

More Connectivity for Safety

Cirrus noted the 2026 SR Series G7+ advances connectivity with enhancements to Cirrus Global Connect and higher-power USB-C ports designed to provide seamless power to modern devices like Starlink.

According to the company, this offers pilots a fully integrated global weather and communication solution for continuous connectivity that includes greater access to a broader range of weather products, including storm cell movement, turbulence, icing, surface visibility, and more. Weather updates are now automatic every five minutes during the flight route.

The cabin now boasts upgraded high-power USB-C ports for every occupant. The configuration includes two 60-watt USB-C ports in the front cabin and two 100-watt USB-C ports in the rear. 

Props and Paint

Cirrus also said exterior aesthetics have not been overlooked, as the SR22 is now available with a four-blade composition propeller option.

Additionally, the SR Series G7+ introduces two all-new premium collections for carbon and platinum liveries and three new premium exterior paint colors—tangerine, Maldives, and viridian.

Cirrus has locations in Minnesota, North Dakota, Texas, Arizona, Florida, Tennessee, and Michigan.
