Verdict
The Honda Jazz GK Facelift costs RM70,242, just RM676 more than the RM69,566 Honda Jazz GK, yet the 1,497 cc naturally aspirated four-cylinder, 118 hp, 145 Nm and 5.6 L/100 km rating are unchanged. So are the 3,955 mm body, 2,530 mm wheelbase and 363-litre boot. The facelift is the sensible pick if its keyless push-button start, keyless entry, electroluminescent analogue cluster and front-seat belt reminder are present and working. Otherwise, the cheaper GK delivers the same mechanical package and cabin space.
Pick the Honda Jazz GK if saving RM676 matters more than keyless access, push-button start and the updated instrument cluster.
Pick the Honda Jazz GK Facelift if you want keyless operation, push-button start, an electroluminescent analogue cluster and a front-seat seatbelt reminder for RM676 more.
