Verdict
The facelift is the sensible new-car choice if the RM676 step-up matters less than daily convenience: it adds keyless entry, push-button start, an electroluminescent analogue cluster and a front-seat belt reminder. But there is no mechanical upgrade. Both use the 118 hp/145 Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine and CVT, return a rated 5.6 L/100 km, weigh 1,067 kg and carry 363 litres. Used buyers can choose the outgoing GK without giving away performance or space. Safety remains identical: four stars, two airbags and no stability control.
Pick the Honda Jazz GK if you want the lower purchase price with the same 118 hp drivetrain, 363-litre boot and ULTRA Seats.
Pick the Honda Jazz GK Facelift if keyless entry, push-button start and a front-seat belt reminder justify RM676 more.
