Used Chery Tiggo 7 PLUS for Export — FOB Nansha $9,748.15-11,259.26

Who this car is for

The Tiggo 7 PLUS is the answer when a buyer wants a Chery but the Tiggo 8 Pro is either too expensive or too large. It is the compact sibling — same brand, much of the same engineering, smaller footprint, lower price.

The number that matters: at 190 mm it keeps nearly all of the Tiggo 8 Pro’s 200 mm ground clearance. That is what makes it the best-value option for buyers on the same rough roads who do not need seven seats. Among compact SUVs, only the Haval H6 Sport comes close, and most rivals sit at 175-180 mm.

We also list the plain Tiggo 7 on this page where we have it. It is the same platform with simpler equipment and usually a manual gearbox, and every unit states which body you are looking at, so there are no surprises at the port.

Where the money goes

You are paying for Chery’s engineering and brand recognition at compact-SUV money. The 1.6TGDI is the same engine as the Tiggo 8 Pro 290T, so a mechanic who knows the bigger car already knows this one — parts and service knowledge are shared, which is a real advantage in a market where Chinese-brand expertise is still building.

The smaller footprint also suits congested urban use in Accra and Lagos better than the mid-size Tiggo 8 Pro does. And the manual-gearbox Tiggo 7 units are the cheapest cars in our range to keep on the road: no DCT service interval, no mechatronic unit to fail.

What we check before we buy it

• Accident and ownership history from the Chinese vehicle file
• Service history, stated plainly including where it is incomplete
• DCT, CVT or manual behaviour depending on trim — the transmission is the component to inspect
• Turbo and cooling system condition, given harder West African duty cycles
• Suspension and underbody condition, which matters on a car bought for rough roads
• Tyre age and tread measured on all four; paint and panels inspected and anything found photographed

Every unit then goes through a professional Chinese vehicle appraisal agency before export, and the independent third-party report ships with the car.

Sourcing and lead time

Supply in the Chinese used market is good. A unit in stock loads within a week of payment; a specific year and trim takes one to three weeks, plus 28-35 days sailing from Guangzhou Nansha to Tema or 30-40 days to Lagos.

Honest limitations

Five seats only — if your buyer needs a third row, this is the wrong car and the Tiggo 8 Pro is the only one in our range that genuinely offers one. The DCT wants its fluid service on schedule, same as its bigger sibling. And it is a compact SUV: 416 L behind the rear seats is adequate rather than generous, which matters for buyers using the car for small-scale trade — the Haval H6 carries 560 L if that is the deciding factor.

We do not provide warranty cover in your market. We are a trading company, not a local service network. What we give you instead is a verified third-party condition report before you pay.

Common questions

Q: What does a used Chery Tiggo 7 PLUS cost FOB Nansha? A: $9,748.15 to $11,259.26 across current stock. A 2023 Champion Edition 1.5TGDI DCT Luxury at 16,000 km is $11,259.26. A 2023 Chaoneng Edition 1.5T Manual at 31,000 km is $9,748.15, and a 2024 1.5T Manual Honor at 26,000 km is $10,044.44.

Q: What will it cost me landed? A: Around $15,507 in Ghana and $19,194 in Nigeria for a 2023 Chaoneng Edition 1.5T Manual, including freight and estimated duty. See the Ghana and Nigeria breakdowns.

Q: How is it different from the Tiggo 8 Pro? A: Smaller, cheaper, five seats instead of an optional seven, and 190 mm of ground clearance instead of 200 mm. Same brand, shared 1.6TGDI engine, shared service knowledge. If budget and size are not constraints, the Tiggo 8 Pro is the better car; if either is, this is the better buy.

Q: What is the difference between the Tiggo 7 and the Tiggo 7 PLUS? A: Same platform. The PLUS is the newer, better-equipped body with the automatic gearboxes and larger screens; the plain Tiggo 7 is simpler and usually manual, which makes it cheaper to buy and cheaper to repair. Each unit listing says which one it is.

Q: Is it left-hand drive? A: Yes, every unit, as built in China. No conversion needed for Ghana, Nigeria or any other LHD market.
