How to Replace the Air Filter in a 2019 Nissan X-Trail?
2 Answers
The method for replacing the air filter in a 2019 Nissan X-Trail is as follows: 1. Pry open the side panel of the glove box, use a tool to remove the four screws of the glove box, and take off the glove box; 2. Open the filter compartment, take out the old air filter; 3. Insert the new filter, close the cover, reinstall the glove box, and secure the side panel. Taking the 2019 Nissan X-Trail Fashion Edition as an example, it is a 5-door, 5-seat SUV with body dimensions of 4675mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1722mm in height, a wheelbase of 2706mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters. The 2019 Nissan X-Trail Fashion Edition is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 154 and a maximum power of 113 kW, paired with a 7-speed continuously variable transmission.
Last year, I bought a 2019 Nissan X-Trail and have already replaced the cabin air filter twice—it’s quite simple. The filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. After opening the compartment, you’ll notice two small clips on the side—just press them gently to remove the entire glove box. Behind it, you’ll find a plastic cover with an arrow indicating the airflow direction. Pry open the clips to remove the old filter. When installing the new filter, ensure the arrow direction matches the old one to avoid incorrect installation, which would reduce filtration efficiency. I usually replace it every six months using an activated carbon filter, which keeps the cabin air fresher and reduces dust allergies. The whole process takes about five minutes with the help of a flathead screwdriver, saving over a hundred bucks compared to a repair shop—totally worth it. If it’s your first time, watching an online tutorial beforehand can boost your confidence.
