Where is the cabin air filter located in the Baojun 730?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the Baojun 730 is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace the cabin air filter, you need to remove the glove compartment. Please note that the clips on the glove compartment are made of plastic and should be handled gently. The cabin air filter is an essential component of the car's air conditioning system, primarily responsible for filtering out impurities such as pollen and dust particles from the air, as well as adsorbing toxic gases like carbon monoxide or nitrogen dioxide, ensuring relatively high air quality inside the vehicle. Taking the 2021 Baojun 730 as an example, it belongs to the MPV category, with body dimensions of: length 4780mm, width 1780mm, height 1740mm, a wheelbase of 2750mm, a fuel tank capacity of 52 liters, and a curb weight of 1500kg.
I previously owned a Baojun 730, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. I’ve replaced it myself multiple times. To access it, you first need to open the glove compartment door and check if there are any damping hooks or screws securing it—some models allow the glove box to be pulled out with a gentle tug, while others may require loosening a small screw or pressing the side clips to remove the entire glove box assembly. Once that’s done, you’ll see the filter housing, usually a rectangular plastic box that can be slid out. Just remember to note the directional markings to avoid installing it backward. When replacing the filter, make sure to choose the correct model—these are generally available on Taobao or at 4S shops, and only the right model can effectively filter dust and pollen. DIY replacement saves a lot of money, and it’s recommended to change it every year or after driving 10,000–20,000 kilometers to prevent musty odors from affecting cabin air quality. The whole process takes less than ten minutes, and even beginners can handle it—just wear gloves to avoid dust allergies. Replacing it in winter also helps protect against PM2.5, which is crucial for your family’s respiratory health.
