The 2018 Honda Jazz belongs to the Third generation / GK-GH-GP generation, built 2013–2018. 2018 was the final year of this generation, so it is the most developed version of the design. The Fourth generation / GR-GS replaced it from 2019. Model years from 2017 onward carry the mid-life facelift, so a 2018 car is a post-facelift example. Body styles: hatchback. The engine range listed for this period includes 1.2 L L12B i-VTEC I4 (GK7, FWD), 1.3 L L13B i-VTEC I4 (GK3 FWD, GK4 AWD), 1.5 L L15B1 i-VTEC I4 (GK5 FWD, GK6 AWD), 1.5 L L15Z2/L15Z5 i-VTEC I4 (GK5 FWD) and more. Owners often keep a Honda Jazz workshop manual to hand for servicing and repairs.
