Where is the cabin air filter located in a 2011 Haval H5?

2011 Haval H5 models were not equipped with cabin air filters. The air conditioning systems with cabin air filters started being installed in the second half of 2012. The 2011 Haval H5 is a compact SUV with the following dimensions: length 4650mm, width 1800mm, height 1755mm, wheelbase 2700mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 70 liters. It features a double-wishbone torsion bar independent front suspension and a five-link non-independent rear suspension. The vehicle is powered by a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine producing 122PS maximum horsepower, 90kW maximum power, and 170Nm maximum torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
My 2011 Haval H5 has its cabin air filter hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To locate it, first open the glove box door, then remove the plastic panel or small cover inside - you'll find a rectangular filter housing there. Many owners like me initially thought it was in the engine bay, but this clever interior placement is actually quite thoughtful. I recommend replacing it annually before summer, especially during dusty seasons, to prevent blowing out particles that could affect breathing. From personal experience, it's an easy DIY job taking just minutes - no need to pay mechanics for this simple maintenance.
