Where is the cabin air filter located in the Land Rover Discovery Sport?
2 Answers
The cabin air filter of the Land Rover Discovery Sport is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. You need to remove the glove compartment to access it. The maintenance interval for the cabin air filter in the Land Rover Discovery Sport is generally the first service at 10,000 kilometers or six months, whichever comes first. The Land Rover Discovery Sport is equipped with a 2.0T 200-horsepower L4 turbocharged engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 147 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm. The vehicle's dimensions are 4599mm in length, 1894mm in width, and 1724mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2741mm.
I've been driving my own Land Rover Discovery Sport for over three years now, and I remember the location of the cabin air filter clearly. It's hidden behind the glove box on the passenger side—don't underestimate this spot, as it's actually quite easy to replace. The specific steps are: first, open the glove box and flip it inward. You'll see a few plastic clips or small screws. Gently pry them open or unscrew them with a screwdriver, and the glove box can be partially pulled out. In the corner, there's a filter slot. Just pull out the old filter, push in the new one, and you're done. I replace mine every six months, mainly because the car often develops odors. After filtering out dust and pollen, breathing becomes much more comfortable. If you don't replace it for a long time, the airflow from the AC weakens, and bacteria can easily grow, affecting health. I recommend buying a high-quality filter for your new car—doing it yourself saves hundreds in maintenance fees. Just be careful not to use too much force when replacing it, as the plastic parts can break easily.
