That windscreen's got extreme slope - is it a rebodied Suzuki SC100 ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

No connection

No connection. It's based on a more modern car, hence the windscreen rake.

Made in Asia ?
No

Is this a saloon/sedan which has been converted to a hatchback?

You got the point!
In 2013, students of Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla (BUAP), Mexico, electrified a 2003 Ford Ka and gave it a new bodywork. It was called Auto Insignia.
