Where is the cabin air filter located in the Changan V7?
2 Answers
Changan V7's cabin air filter is located above the glove box on the driver's side. First remove the plastic panel, then unscrew the screw at the end of the glove box, and remove the cover to access the air filter. Functions of the cabin air filter: 1. Ensures tight sealing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. Filters out dust, pollen, abrasive particles and other solid impurities from the air. The Changan V7 measures 4530mm in length, 1745mm in width and 1498mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2610mm. The Changan V7 is a new compact sedan from Changan, positioned as a sporty and tech-savvy A-segment car targeting post-80s and post-85s consumers.
As a DIY car enthusiast who frequently works on my own vehicle, I've found that the cabin air filter for the Changan Alsvin V7 is conveniently located behind the glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. The removal process is quite straightforward: simply open the glove box, gently lift it upwards or press the clips on both sides to detach it, and you'll see a rectangular cover panel - that's where the filter resides. Remember to always use the correct filter model when replacing it; don't compromise quality for cheaper alternatives as inferior filters have poor filtration efficiency, allowing dust and pollen to enter the cabin and affect respiratory health. I personally replace mine every six months - not only does this save money but also ensures clean, fresh air from the AC vents. The whole process takes about ten minutes with barely any tools required, making it beginner-friendly. If you get stuck, following a step-by-step video tutorial is the safest approach. Never force open the glove box as excessive pressure can easily damage the clips. Regular replacement also extends your AC system's lifespan and keeps the car running more comfortably and fuel-efficiently.
