Where is the cabin air filter located in the Range Rover Evoque?

The cabin air filter in the Range Rover Evoque is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side, and the white bracket needs to be removed during replacement. Functions of the cabin air filter: 1. Ensures the filter tightly seals against the housing to prevent unfiltered air from entering the cabin; 2. Separates dust, pollen, and solid particulate matter from the air; 3. Adsorbs moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, and CO2 from the air. Taking the 2020 Range Rover Evoque 249PS Youth Edition as an example: It uses a gasoline engine with a 48V mild hybrid system; equipped with a 2.0T 249-horsepower L4 turbocharged engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission; features include a rearview camera, cruise control, and driving mode switching.
Having spent a long time in the Land Rover Evoque owner group, I've learned that the cabin air filter is usually located in the area in front of the passenger seat. Open the glove box, and you'll typically find a cover panel or need to remove the entire box to access the filter housing. Last time I replaced mine, it took me a few minutes to unscrew the bolts and remove the old filter – completely clogged with dust and leaves, no wonder the AC always had that funky smell. I recommend changing it annually, especially after pollen season, otherwise breathing becomes uncomfortable. DIY replacement isn't difficult – just keep a Phillips screwdriver handy, but be careful not to force and damage the plastic components. After installing a new filter, the air becomes much fresher, making driving more pleasant. Remember to replace it before starting the engine for safety, and avoid touching other electrical components.
