The cabin air filter of the Trumpchi GS7 is located inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. Functions of the cabin air filter: 1. It can separate solid impurities such as dust, pollen, and grinding particles from the air; 2. It can absorb moisture, soot, ozone, odors, carbon oxides, SO2, CO2 in the air; 3. It has strong and long-lasting moisture absorption capacity. The Trumpchi GS7 is a five-seat mid-size SUV under GAC Trumpchi, with a body length of 4730mm, width of 1910mm, height of 1700mm, and a wheelbase of 2720mm. It is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 210 kW, maximum power speed of 5200 rpm, maximum torque of 320 Nm, and maximum torque speed ranging from 1750 to 4000 rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The air filter for the Trumpchi GS7 is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. It took me some effort to find it the first time too. First, open the glove box and press it downward to release the clips on both sides, then you'll see a rectangular cover. Gently pry the cover from the right side with your fingers to remove it, and you'll find the filter diagonally inserted in the plastic frame. Remember to install the new filter with the arrow facing downward—installing it the wrong way reduces filtration efficiency. The design of this location is quite reasonable, allowing you to replace it yourself without dismantling the dashboard. Last time, I bought a filter online for just over ten yuan, saving half the cost compared to going to a 4S shop. By the way, it's best to replace the filter before the rainy season, otherwise, the AC can easily develop a musty smell.

I've changed the air filter four times in three years on my GS7. The filter is located inside the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. The operation is extremely simple: fully open the glove box and press down firmly until you hear a click, which means the side limiters have disengaged. Then, look down to see a plastic cover with clips – gently pull it toward you to remove the entire filter bracket. Remember to buy an activated carbon composite filter for better performance. For northern car owners, it's recommended to check every 5,000 kilometers, as filters in dusty areas can easily clog and affect airflow. The whole process takes just five minutes, saving more time than visiting a repair shop.

Just helped my neighbor replace the air filter for his GS7, located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. No tools are needed for this operation, it can be done by hand: First, empty the glove compartment, press down firmly on both sides with your hands until it's fully depressed, revealing the plastic cover panel at the back. Note there's a small clip at the upper right corner of the panel—just pry it off with your fingernail. When removing the old filter, pay attention to the directional mark; install the new filter with the pleats perpendicular to the ground. This position is scientifically designed for the ventilation path, effectively filtering out pollen and dust from outside. It's recommended to check the filter's condition every quarter—replace it if it turns black or hardens.
