3 Answers
The cabin air filter in the Jingyi X5 is located in the engine compartment. This vehicle is a compact SUV equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine featuring an aluminum alloy cylinder block. It comes with a 5-speed manual transmission, MacPherson strut front suspension with stabilizer bar, and a trailing arm non-independent rear suspension. The exterior dimensions of the Jingyi X5 are 4515mm in length, 1812mm in width, and 1725mm in height, with a minimum ground clearance of 200mm. It has a 45L fuel tank capacity, a top speed of 160 km/h, maximum torque of 151 N·m, maximum horsepower of 122 PS, and maximum power output of 90 kW.
I just replaced the cabin air filter of my Jingyi X5 last year, which is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. You open the glove box and find it clipped there—you'll need to gently press down the clips on both sides or remove a few small screws to access the filter housing. Remember to apply some force but not too much, or the plastic parts might break. The design makes it quite convenient for DIY, saving you money—just spend a few dozen bucks on a new filter. When replacing it, be careful not to let dust fly into your eyes. I recommend changing it every 20,000 km or once a year, especially if you use the AC a lot in summer. An old filter accumulates dust and mold, affecting air freshness and fuel efficiency. Upgrading to a good one even reduces the risk of catching colds—what a satisfying experience!
As a friend who frequently works on cars, I must say the standard location for the JAC X5's cabin air filter is inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Just pull down the glove box door and you'll find a hidden compartment behind it. It's secured with a few plastic clips—simply pry them open with a screwdriver. Why place it there? Because it's close to the AC intake, making air filtration more efficient. When checking it yourself, replace the filter if it turns black—don't delay. A clogged filter reduces airflow and drains the battery. Make it a habit to clean out glove box clutter every quarter and take a quick look at the filter's condition to keep your car in top shape.
