The Honda Fit (Jazz in European markets) has three distinct generations in Sri Lanka's used car market, each with a different powertrain philosophy and price tier. GD1 (Gen 1, 2001–2008) averages Rs. 4.56M–5.30M. GE6 (Gen 2 NA, 2008–2014) spans Rs. 5.51M–9.66M. GP5 (Gen 3 Hybrid, 2013–2020) ranges Rs. 7.60M–9.98M for its peak years. Total market:, median Rs. 7.47M.
The Honda Fit is called "Jazz" in Europe and some Asian markets — base_model is always "fit" in the Sri Lanka market regardless of which name appears on the listing. A listing titled "Jazz G" is the same car as "Fit G".
What Are the Three Honda Fit Chassis Generations?
| Chassis | Generation | Years | Engine | Output | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GD1 | Gen 1 1.3L FWD | 2001–2008 | L13A SOHC i-DSI | 86 PS / 119 Nm | FWD |
| GD2 | Gen 1 1.5L FWD | 2001–2008 | L15A VTEC | 110 PS / 143 Nm | FWD |
| GE6 | Gen 2 1.3L FWD | 2008–2014 | L13B SOHC i-VTEC | 90 PS / 123 Nm | FWD |
| GE8 | Gen 2 1.5L FWD | 2008–2014 | L15B VTEC | 118 PS / 145 Nm | FWD |
| GP1 | Gen 2 Hybrid FWD | 2010–2014 | L13B + IMA | 88 PS combined | FWD |
| GK3 | Gen 3 1.3L FWD | 2013–2020 | L13B SOHC i-VTEC | 100 PS / 118 Nm | FWD |
| GK5 | Gen 3 1.5L FWD (RS) | 2013–2020 | L15B VTEC | 132 PS / 155 Nm | FWD |
| GP5 | Gen 3 Hybrid FWD | 2013–2020 | L13B + Sport Hybrid i-DCD | 110 PS combined | FWD |
In Sri Lanka, GD1, GE6, GK3, and GP5 are the common chassis. GD2 (Gen 1 1.5L) and GK5 (Gen 3 RS) appear occasionally — GK5 is the RS grade with the 1.5L engine. The GP5 uses Honda's Sport Hybrid i-DCD system — a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with integrated motor, the same architecture as the Vezel RU3. Sri Lanka stop-go driving has generated documented DCT maintenance issues on GP5 as well; this is covered in the buying guide section.
How Much Does the GD1 (Gen 1) Cost by Year?
The GD1 uses Honda's L13A 1,339cc SOHC i-DSI engine — a twin-spark-plug design producing 86 PS at 5,700 rpm. The Gen 1 Fit introduced the "Magic Seat" — rear seats fold completely flat into the floor, creating a near-van-level cargo hold (1,492L with seats folded). This cargo flexibility is unmatched at the GD1 price point. CVT transmission on most units.
| YOM | Avg Price | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2003 | Rs. 4.56M | Rs. 4.19M | Rs. 6.50M |
| 2004 | Rs. 4.89M | Rs. 4.38M | Rs. 5.50M |
| 2005 | Rs. 4.97M | Rs. 4.60M | Rs. 5.40M |
| 2007 | Rs. 5.21M | Rs. 4.65M | Rs. 5.73M |
| 2008 | Rs. 5.30M | Rs. 4.50M | Rs. 6.20M |
The 2007 GD1 has the deepest Gen 1 pool at Rs. 5.21M average — this is the budget buyer's entry point for a Honda Fit. The GD1's L13A i-DSI engine has a reliable track record but twin-plug ignition system maintenance requires attention; verify spark plug condition and timing chain on purchase.

GE6 (Gen 2 NA) — Price by Year of Manufacture
The GE6 upgrades to the L13B 1,339cc SOHC i-VTEC engine producing 90 PS — same displacement but with Variable Valve Timing, which improves mid-range response and efficiency vs the Gen 1 i-DSI. The Gen 2 body is more aerodynamic and the interior is significantly more refined. CVT remains standard. Grades: G (base), A, L, S, RS (1.5L GE8/GK5 only).
| YOM | Avg Price | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2008 | Rs. 5.51M | Rs. 4.70M | Rs. 6.09M |
| 2010 | Rs. 5.90M | Rs. 4.85M | Rs. 7.39M |
| 2011 | Rs. 6.77M | Rs. 5.48M | Rs. 8.75M |
| 2012 | Rs. 7.63M | Rs. 5.95M | Rs. 10.80M |
| 2013 | Rs. 8.90M | Rs. 7.79M | Rs. 10.25M |
| 2014 | Rs. 9.66M | Rs. 8.90M | Rs. 11.00M |
The 2012 GE6 is the Gen 2 sweet spot at Rs. 7.63M average, with excellent listing depth. The 2013 and 2014 GE6 units price close to the GP5 (Hybrid) range, making the GP5 a natural comparison at those budgets. For buyers choosing between a 2013 GE6 (Rs. 8.90M) and a 2013 GP5 (Rs. 7.60M), the GP5 is actually cheaper — but carries the DCT risk discussed below.
GP5 (Gen 3 Hybrid) — Price by Year of Manufacture
The GP5 uses Honda's Sport Hybrid i-DCD system — a 1,339cc L13B petrol engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with an integrated electric motor, producing 110 PS combined. JC08 fuel economy is quoted at 36.4 km/L. In practice, Sri Lankan owners in urban driving report 20–26 km/L — excellent for a 1.3L car.
DCT caution: Honda's i-DCD DCT has documented clutch pack wear in stop-go urban driving, identical to the RU3 Vezel concern. Estimated repair cost in Sri Lanka: Rs. 300,000–400,000. Honda issued a service campaign in some markets. Always request a DCT service history and clutch inspection report before purchasing any GP5. A GP5 with verified DCT maintenance is a sound purchase; one without documentation carries real financial risk.
Battery health note: Beyond the DCT, the GP5's IMA hybrid battery pack is now 10+ years old on the earliest units, so ask for a hybrid system health scan alongside the DCT inspection — the two are separate systems and a clean DCT report says nothing about battery condition. Watch for a dashboard hybrid warning light, a noticeably wider gap between segments on the battery charge indicator than on comparable GP5s, and real-world fuel economy well below the 20–26 km/L typical range, which usually points to a tiring pack before it points to the engine or DCT. A weak battery is a cheaper problem to negotiate around than a failing DCT, but it should still be priced into any offer on an undocumented unit.
| YOM | Avg Price | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | Rs. 7.60M | Rs. 6.65M | Rs. 9.30M |
| 2014 | Rs. 7.76M | Rs. 6.40M | Rs. 9.30M |
| 2015 | Rs. 8.23M | Rs. 6.98M | Rs. 12.80M |
| 2016 | Rs. 9.98M | Rs. 7.85M | Rs. 12.65M |
| 2017 | Rs. 8.94M | Rs. 7.75M | Rs. 13.20M |
The 2014 GP5 is the most liquid single Fit year in Sri Lanka, at an average of Rs. 7.76M. This is the market's reference price for the Fit Hybrid. The 2013 GP5 (Rs. 7.60M) offers Rs. 160K savings at slight age cost. The 2016 GP5 average of Rs. 9.98M is skewed by high-grade units (Hybrid S, Hybrid F Package) and very low supply.
Is the GK3 or GP5 the Better Buy at the Same Price?
At equivalent 2013–2015 model years, the GK3 (NA) and GP5 (Hybrid) trade within Rs. 150K–400K of each other:
| Chassis | YOM | Avg Price | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| GK3 (NA) | 2013 | Rs. 7.50M | — |
| GP5 (Hybrid) | 2013 | Rs. 7.60M | +Rs. 100K for Hybrid |
| GK3 (NA) | 2014 | Rs. 7.80M | — |
| GP5 (Hybrid) | 2014 | Rs. 7.76M | -Rs. 40K (Hybrid cheaper!) |
The market has priced the DCT risk into the GP5: it trades at or below the GK3 NA in 2014. A verified-DCT GP5 at Rs. 7.76M against a GK3 at Rs. 7.80M is an easy choice — but an unverified GP5 is a warranty lottery.
Which Chassis Should You Buy?
- Budget Rs. 4.5M–5.5M: 2007 GD1 (Rs. 5.21M). The Magic Seat is a genuine utility advantage no competitor matches at this price. Check timing chain and i-DSI plugs.
- Budget Rs. 5.5M–7.5M: 2012 GE6 (Rs. 7.63M). Well-maintained, modern i-VTEC engine, no hybrid complexity risk.
- Budget Rs. 7.5M–9M and willing to verify DCT: 2014 GP5 (Rs. 7.76M). With Honda service documentation for the DCT, this is excellent value. Without documentation, pivot to the GK3.
- Budget Rs. 7.5M–9M and want zero DCT risk: 2014 GK3 (Rs. 7.80M). Same generation body, CVT, no hybrid complexity.
