The G-IV has an intercontinental range, facilitated by two Rolls-Royce Tay Mk 611-8 engines. These upgraded engines give the aircraft improved fuel efficiency and lower noise levels than its predecessor. The G400 also has a higher maximum takeoff weight and better performance on hot days or at high altitude airfields. The cockpit utilizes a Honeywell SPZ-8000 avionics suite, or on some aircraft, may have been upgraded to the SPZ 8400 avionics package.
