Where is the air intake of the MG HS?

The air intake of the MG HS is located in the engine compartment. Open the hood, and the position of the air filter is the air intake. Function of the air intake: To deliver clean, dry, sufficient, and stable air to the engine to meet its needs, avoiding the entry of impurities in the air and large particles of dust caused by abnormal engine wear into the engine combustion chamber. Function of the air intake: Another important function of the intake system is to reduce noise and intake. Noise not only affects the vehicle but also impacts the interior noise, significantly influencing ride comfort. Function of the air intake: The design quality of the intake system directly affects the engine's power and noise quality, which is related to the overall ride comfort of the vehicle. Reasonable design of muffler components can reduce subsystem noise and improve vehicle performance.
I previously studied the engine bay of the MG HS, where the air intake is located on the front right side of the vehicle. When you open the hood, you can see it hidden behind the right headlight as a black pipe opening connected to the air filter box. The placement is quite thoughtful—it can catch wind to improve intake efficiency while avoiding being too low to prevent water ingestion during rainy days. I remember once during a car wash, I specifically pulled out the filter sponge to blow out the dust; it's located near the windshield washer reservoir. It's important to regularly check that the air intake isn't clogged with leaves—last time, I cleared out a handful of dried twigs. MG's design is quite clever; the engine bay layout looks tidy, and replacing the air filter is convenient.
The air intake of the MG HS is located at the front right of the engine compartment. I measured the position when I installed the performance air filter myself, and it's less than 20 centimeters away from the radiator support. This design balances ground clearance and cold air intake efficiency, as it's close to the grille's airflow surface but still shielded under the hood. Last time I replaced the air filter, opening the air filter box cover led directly to the intake pipe, which is made of corrugated plastic material. It's recommended to regularly inspect this area, especially after driving on dirt roads, to clean out accumulated willow catkins or insect debris in front of the filter.
