The Hartzell 5-blade propeller accelerates from zero to 90 knots 10 percent quicker than any other available propeller. Hartzell's redesigned propeller also allows for a quicker ascent rate of 100 feet per minute. Cruise is 2 knots quicker than the present four-blade prop and 5 knots faster than the wood-based five-blade propeller alternative. In addition, the new Hartzell five-blade prop is much quieter in the cabin and in the pattern.

In 2014, the exhaust system of the TBM underwent a redesign in order to operate more efficiently, maximizing airflow through the engine and improving performance at higher altitudes. Compared to previous TBM exhaust systems, the redesigned system in newer TBM models offers optimized engine airflow, reduced drag. and improved residual thrust.

Garmin’s G3000 digital avionics suite is the first-ever touchscreen-controlled, all-glass flight deck designed for light turbine aircraft. Powered by a state-of-the art processor, the G3000 offers a faster start-up than its predecessor. Three 12-inch ultra-high-resolution displays (1920 x 1200 pixels) provide enhanced perspective view of terrain features, obstacles and traffic - all shown in relative proximity to the aircraft.
The displays’ split-screen functionality enables separate vertical pages to be viewed side-by-side, helping the pilot manage screens by priority that best suits each phase of flight. The G3000’s graphical synoptics for airframe, electrical, and fuel systems offer easy monitoring and faster troubleshooting. Higher-resolution displays allow enhanced viewing and management of multiple sensor inputs - thus making the multi-functional display even more multifunctional.
