Verdict
The Honda Jazz GK Facelift is the stronger new-versus-outgoing buy: it costs RM2,424 less at RM70,242, yet brings a 363-litre boot against 337 litres, a 2,530-mm wheelbase against 2,500 mm and a 1,067-kg kerb weight against 1,110 kg. Its CVT also has a quoted 5.6 L/100 km figure and the warranty runs five years with unlimited mileage. The GE counters with stability control, front foglamps and a 42-litre tank, but its five-speed automatic, 3-year/100,000-km warranty and higher price make it harder to justify unless those safety and equipment items matter most.
Pick the Honda Jazz GE Facelift if stability control, front foglamps and folding wing mirrors matter more than a longer warranty and larger boot.
Pick the Honda Jazz GK Facelift if you want the lower RM70,242 price, CVT, 363-litre boot and five-year unlimited-mileage warranty.
