Where is the air filter of the new Sylphy located?
2 Answers
The air filter of the Nissan Sylphy is located inside the glove box. To replace the air filter, you must remove the glove box by unscrewing the three screws at the bottom of the glove box. Open the glove box to see five screws inside, then easily remove the glove box. Gently push open the clips to remove the filter box cover and access the filter. The filter has a pull tab for easy removal. More details are as follows: 1. The 14th generation Sylphy adopts the same new family design language as the Teana, completely transforming from its previous conservative and stable image into a stylish look. If you only look at the exterior, it's easy to mistake it for a Teana, as its design leans towards higher-end models, which easily wins consumer favor. 2. For the interior, the 14th generation Sylphy also features a completely new design. The rounded lines of the old model are almost entirely gone, replaced by a layout with strong lines, rich layers, and more eye-catching color schemes. 3. The new generation Sylphy is still equipped with the HR16 engine, a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum output power of 102kW and a maximum torque of 169N·m, paired with a CVT transmission with a gear ratio range of 8.71:1. In terms of both on-paper data and real-world experience, this is a powertrain prioritized for economy, though it admittedly lacks some excitement.
As a new owner of the Nissan Sylphy, I always change the cabin air filter behind the glove box—it's a smooth process. You open the glove box, clear out the items, and you'll see a plastic cover or clip. Gently pry it open, and the filter is right there—well-designed and effortless. I recommend replacing it every six months or 5,000 km. In the city, dust builds up quickly, and delaying the change reduces airflow from the vents and makes the cabin air stale. I've tried different filter brands, and the OEM one works best—filters effectively without warping. Never use cheap knockoffs; they can clog the AC system, leading to costly repairs. DIY replacement is hassle-free and saves money. The spot behind the glove box is designed for easy access, so beginners shouldn’t hesitate—just follow a tutorial.
