Where is the cabin air filter located in the Changan V5 Yuexiang?

The cabin air filter of the Changan V5 Yuexiang is located on the right side of the driver's seat accelerator pedal. There is a vertical black plastic cover approximately 20 cm long and 2 cm wide with clips. You can remove it by hand to access the cabin air filter. The cabin air filter should be cleaned and maintained regularly to avoid affecting the normal operation of the air conditioning system due to clogging. The Changan V5 Yuexiang has body dimensions of 4415mm in length, 1710mm in width, and 1475mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2515mm. The V5 Yuexiang is only longer than the Yuexiang in length, while the width, height, and wheelbase remain unchanged.
Recently helped a friend replace the air conditioning filter on a Changan Alsvin V5, located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. To replace it, you first need to open the glove box. There are plastic retaining clips on both sides—apply some clever force by squeezing them inward simultaneously to remove the entire glove box. Once removed, you'll see a plastic cover with two clips; gently pry it open to access the filter slot. The car's design is quite thoughtful, as no tools are needed for filter replacement. The filter is a rectangular activated carbon model, and you can buy two genuine ones for just 50 yuan on Taobao. Replacing it twice a year significantly improves cabin air quality. By the way, after the replacement, the airflow from the AC felt much smoother—previously, I always thought the weak airflow was due to a blower motor issue.
I've been driving the Yuexiang V5 for almost three years, and the cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. The first time I replaced it, it took me half an hour to figure it out. You need to open the glove box, then locate the raised plastic clips on both sides. Press them inward with two fingers to release the entire glove box. Behind it, there's a long cover with an arrow indicator. Pry it open to access the filter's housing. Remember to align the directional arrow correctly when installing the new filter – installing it backward will affect airflow efficiency. Now, I make sure to check it before summer arrives, as it directly impacts the air quality we breathe while driving, which is far more important than window tinting.
