Where is the air filter located in the Luxgen 7 SUV?

The air filter in the Luxgen 7 SUV is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. After removing the glove box, you will see a white cover on the blower motor. Opening this cover will reveal the air filter. The cabin air filter is a component installed in the vehicle's air conditioning system that absorbs dust particles, alleviates respiratory discomfort, reduces irritation for allergy sufferers, and protects the air conditioning cooling system. The Luxgen 7 is a mid-size SUV under Dongfeng Yulon, with dimensions of 4818mm in length, 1930mm in width, and 1745mm in height, a wheelbase of 2910mm, a body style of 5-door 5-seat SUV, and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
The cabin air filter in this car is quite well hidden. I've removed it several times from my own Maxus D90 – you have to first take out the entire glove compartment on the passenger side. Yes, just press both sides of the glove box inward and squeeze, then the whole compartment can be pulled downward. Inside, there's a cover with three plastic clips that need to be pried open with a small screwdriver to reveal the filter slot. A heads-up – the filter slides in vertically with the arrow pointing downward to align with airflow direction. Installing it backwards will affect filtration efficiency. After replacement, make sure to firmly snap the cover clips back in place before reinstalling the glove box, otherwise it may rattle while driving. By the way, replacing the filter before rainy season effectively prevents AC odors.
I previously helped a friend replace the air filter in a Luxgen U7. The filter is located at the very back of the glove compartment on the passenger side, but it doesn't require the complicated process of removing the center console. First, empty the glove compartment, then firmly press the limiters on both sides to release them, allowing the entire glove compartment to fold down 90 degrees. You'll then see a black plastic cover secured by 5 clips, which can be popped open using a fingernail or plastic pry tool. When removing the filter, pay attention to its orientation—the arrow on the new filter should point toward the driver's seat when installing. I recommend replacing it every 1.5 years or after driving 20,000 kilometers, especially in northern areas with heavy dust and sand.
