4 to 6 seat capacity comes to my mind (needs/wants)...

Sure doesn't look like a powered glider to me.

If you are looking for a large capacity powered glider, the ME-323 is the
closest I can think of - accommodation for 120 passengers. But it would
never have shut down the engines and glided, so it doesn't really fit the
current understanding of those terms.
