How many air filters does the BYD S7 have?

[VanFelix]

BYD S7 has one air filter located behind the glove compartment. Generally, the replacement procedures for the cabin air filter and engine air filter are similar, and both should be replaced when the vehicle reaches 10,000 kilometers. The BYD S7 is equipped with two engine options: a 1.5T and a 2.0T, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 1.5T engine delivers a maximum power output of 113 kW and a peak torque of 240 Nm, while the 2.0T engine produces a maximum power of 151 kW and a peak torque of 320 Nm.

When I first drove the BYD S7, I was also puzzled about the air conditioning filter. Later, I figured it out by disassembling it myself. This car's AC system is equipped with two filters: one is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, specifically filtering outside air, and the other is under a plastic cover at the lower right corner of the windshield, serving as a coarse filtration layer. I replaced them once last year—first removed the glove compartment clips, then used a T20 screwdriver to open the cover and saw the inner filter. The outer filter is even easier to replace; just lift the cover under the wiper arm and you can feel it. The two filters have distinct roles: the outer one filters dust and leaves first, while the inner one targets PM2.5 and pollen. I recommend checking them every six months, especially during spring in the north when willow catkins are abundant. A clogged filter makes the AC weak—even at maximum fan speed, you won’t feel cool.

I've been driving a BYD S7 for three years, and I remember the maintenance manual very clearly. This car's air conditioning system has a dual-filter design. Specific locations: one is behind the glove box on the passenger side, which requires removing plastic clips to access; the other is hidden under the hood near the windshield, and you can replace it by lifting the dust cover. Changing the filters yourself is quite simple, as they are standard-sized, and you can buy activated carbon ones online for just over twenty yuan. I make it a habit to replace the outer filter before summer and the inner filter before the rainy season, so the air conditioning runs cool and odor-free. Recently, my neighbor's car AC stopped cooling, and it turned out the outer filter was completely clogged with half a centimeter of accumulated leaves. It worked perfectly again after cleaning.

The BYD S7 air conditioning system is equipped with a dual-layer filtration structure, with each filter having its own role. The outer filter is located in the engine compartment and is responsible for intercepting large particles like leaves and dust; the inner one is behind the glove box on the passenger side, mainly filtering pollen and odors. I drive on the highway every week and noticed that whenever the air conditioning weakens in traffic jams, nine times out of ten, it's because the outer filter is clogged. During my last maintenance visit to the 4S shop, the technician taught me a little trick: press the filter cover latch while pulling outward to avoid breaking it. Replacing a filter isn’t costly, but it can extend the air conditioning’s lifespan by three to five years, especially if you frequently use the external circulation mode.

Just helped a buddy deal with the AC odor in his BYD S7 a couple of days ago, and specifically researched the filter locations. This car has two AC filters: the external filter is under the plastic cover below the windshield in the engine bay—just remove three clips to replace it; the internal filter is behind the glovebox on the passenger side, requiring the removal of a panel screw. If the AC suddenly has reduced airflow or slow cooling, it's usually due to a clogged filter. I recommend drivers who frequently travel through construction sites to check the external filter every three months, while city commuters can replace it every six months. Remember to buy filters with an activated carbon layer, otherwise, the new car smell might linger for half a year. DIY replacement saves you 50 bucks in labor—just six screws to remove.
