The cabin air filter of the Great Wall VV7 is located beneath the glove compartment on the passenger side. The replacement method is as follows: 1. Remove the two screws (left and right) on the footwell light panel below the glove compartment and loosen the cover plate; 2. Disconnect the footwell light connector and remove the cover plate; 3. Open the felt lining on the inner side of the center console to reveal the cabin air filter cover, then open the cover to access the filter; 4. Remove the old cabin air filter and replace it with a new one. The Great Wall VV7 is a mid-size luxury SUV under the WEY brand of Great Wall Motors. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 4760mm in length, 1931mm in width, and 1655mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2950mm.
Speaking of the Great Wall VV7's cabin air filter, its location is in the footwell area on the passenger side. To be more specific, you'll first need to open the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. There are usually plastic clips or small screws securing the compartment inside or underneath. Press open the clips or loosen the screws, then carefully remove the glove compartment. After that, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover attached to the footwell lining. Pry open that cover, and the filter is tucked inside the slot. The first time I replaced it, I had no experience and broke a clip. Later, I found a tutorial online and learned to be more careful. Changing the filter is quite simple—just wear gloves to keep your hands clean, note the direction arrow on the old filter, and slide the new one back into place the same way. The design of this location is quite thoughtful, allowing you to DIY and save a trip to the repair shop. The cabin air filter is crucial for interior air quality, especially on smoggy days when opening windows lets in dust—the filter blocks much of the dust and pollen. It's recommended to check and replace it every six months to prevent odors or allergies and maintain high AC efficiency. Neglecting the filter long-term may weaken the AC cooling. Maintaining it yourself is a good habit that saves money and gives peace of mind.
