Verdict
At RM72,666 for the Honda Jazz GE Facelift and RM70,242 for the Honda Jazz GK Facelift, the newer GK costs RM2,424 less yet gets a CVT, keyless push-button start and a 363-litre boot. Its 2,530-mm wheelbase is 30 mm longer, while kerb weight falls 43 kg to 1,067 kg; it is the better used-car direction for space and warranty cover. But the outgoing GE has stability control, where the GK does not, plus front foglamps and electric folding mirrors. Safety-conscious buyers should not trade that away lightly.
Pick the Honda Jazz GE Facelift if stability control, front foglamps and electric-folding mirrors matter more than extra boot space and a longer warranty.
Pick the Honda Jazz GK Facelift if you want the cheaper Jazz with a CVT, 363-litre boot, keyless start and five-year unlimited-mileage warranty.
