Where is the cabin air filter located in the BAIC Senova D50?

The cabin air filter of the BAIC Senova D50 is located at the front of the vehicle, beneath the drainage channel in front of the front passenger seat. When replacing it, prepare the MK6210 filter and tools, and remove the filter's outer packaging. Peel back the rubber strip, remove the screws and the old filter, apply foam cleaning, and after cleaning, install the new filter. Secure the clips, check for proper installation, and reattach the cover. The BAIC Senova D50 has body dimensions of 4630 mm in length, 1820 mm in width, and 1480 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670 mm. The BAIC Senova D50 features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension type of MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension type of torsion beam non-independent suspension.
As a long-time owner of the BAIC Senova D50, I can tell you that the cabin air filter is usually located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to open the glove box first, which is typically secured with clips or screws. Once removed, look inside and you'll find a small cover panel. Lift this panel to reveal the filter inside. I personally replace it every year or every 10,000 kilometers. After years of driving, the filter accumulates dust and can develop mold, which affects AC performance and causes unpleasant odors if not replaced promptly. When replacing, I recommend buying genuine filters and ensuring proper orientation during installation to avoid airflow issues. For first-timers, removing the glove box is straightforward and usually requires no tools—there are tutorial videos online for reference. In short, regular maintenance habits can extend your AC's lifespan and keep the cabin air fresh.
I often help friends with car repairs. For the Senova D50, the standard location of the air conditioning filter is inside the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. The specific steps are to empty the glove box, pull or pry open the clips with force, and after removal, a plastic cover will be exposed. Gently pry it open to reveal the filter. When replacing, make sure to choose the same model filter. One that is too thick or thin may block the air ducts, leading to insufficient cold air and affecting driving comfort in summer. It is recommended to check every 6 months, especially in dusty northern areas where it is more prone to clogging. A dirty filter not only increases fuel consumption but may also breed bacteria, which is bad for health. Doing it yourself is cost-effective, as shops charge too much.
I recently got a Senova D50 and asked the 4S staff. The cabin air filter is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side of the dashboard. Open that compartment, remove a few clips inside, and the filter is under the cover. After replacing it, breathing feels much smoother, especially during pollen season when it helps reduce allergies. Remember the location for easy DIY maintenance anytime.
