I don´t know wich will be the sale price of the airplane, or if this is just a prototype. However according to the video the range of the airplane is equivalent to the reciprocating version while reducing the fuel consumption (depending on the source video claims 45% other links 25%) and saving 100 Kgs/ 220 lb of weight.

They take off using electric engines drastically reducing noise. The companies involved with the project are seriously considering to develop this powerplant for 50/100 passenger airliners.
