Where is the cabin air filter located in the MG ZS?

The cabin air filter of the MG ZS is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. The removal process is relatively simple: first open the glove box, press the inner panel of the glove box, release the clips on both sides, and then lower the glove box. After lowering it, you will see a black cover plate. Press the clips on both sides, remove the cover plate, and you can see the cabin air filter. The MG ZS is the first internet-connected SUV model under the MG brand. The dimensions of this car are 4314mm in length, 1809mm in width, and 1652mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2585mm. The MG ZS is equipped with a series of configurations such as a 6-way power-adjustable driver's seat, power-folding exterior rearview mirrors, and rear center headrests. The ESP electronic stability program is standard across all models.
As a car enthusiast who often does DIY repairs, the MG ZS's cabin air filter is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. First, you need to empty all items inside, then gently remove the glove box—it's usually secured with clips and opens easily with a slight twist. After taking off the square cover inside, you'll see the filter. Last time I replaced it myself, it was quite simple—just followed an online tutorial and finished in ten minutes. You can buy the filter on Taobao or at a 4S store, but avoid the cheapest ones as they have poor filtration. For replacement timing, I recommend every six months or 5,000 kilometers, especially for drivers like me in Beijing where poor air quality clogs the filter faster. Reduced airflow and odd smells affect driving comfort. Regular replacement keeps the AC cleaner, prevents dust allergies, and maintains a healthy cabin environment—very important!
I recently got a MG ZS and found out that the cabin air filter is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. After emptying the glove box and removing a small cover, you can see the filter. I tried replacing it myself once by following online tutorials—the key is to follow instructions carefully and avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging the clips. When replacing, pay attention to the directional arrow on the filter to ensure proper airflow. A dirty filter can cause a musty smell from the AC, which affects respiratory health. I replace mine every six months since city driving tends to accumulate dust. I recommend using OEM or high-quality filters—it’s cost-effective and safer. Maintaining clean cabin air is more important than anything else.
