It's a later Excel SE from 1991. I find it easy to confuse the Excel with the similar but earlier Eclat.

Wow. The styling looks sort of Camry/ES350ish. So my first guess was that this is some sort of JDM Camry variant.
 
Then I noticed that the badge looks like the defunct Rover one. And the car doesn't appear to be RHD.
 
So I'm stuck.

Unless the picture is flopped, it appears to be LHD. And it's the Roewe 550.

You're right Hudson, it's the Roewe 550, a shorter variant of the Roewe 750, which was a clone of the Rover 750. They're made by Nanjing Motors of China. The same car is sold by Nanjing in Chile as the MG550.

New Veedub Polo I'd guess? Look too tiny for a Golf.

Sorry Boomer, it's not a Polo, which is smaller than a Golf.

Here's the second generation Golf Plus:
 

 
(Straightline)
 
Looks like a match except for the wheels. And the license plate is next in sequence.

That's right Steve, the Golf Plus is a kind of slightly upsized Microvan version of the Euro Golf.
