Where is the cabin air filter located in the Volvo XC60?

The cabin air filter in the Volvo XC60 is located beneath the glove compartment. First, unscrew the two screws under the glove compartment and remove the cover below it. Then, pry open the plastic trim panel on the passenger side of the center console and lift the felt layer to access and remove the cabin air filter. To replace the filter, simply take out the old one, insert the new cabin air filter, and then reassemble the plastic trim panel and the glove compartment cover in reverse order. The Volvo XC60 is an SUV model under the Volvo car company, with body dimensions of 4688mm in length, 1902mm in width, 1658mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2865mm.
The cabin air filter of the Volvo XC60 is typically installed behind the glove compartment in the front passenger footwell. Having worked on cars for many years, I've found that to access it, you need to press the clips on both sides of the glove box to lower it completely. Then, you'll see a square cover—just unscrew the bolts or remove the clips to take out the filter housing and replace it with a new one. This location is well-designed, as it doesn't take up much space and makes replacement quite convenient. I recommend changing it annually because, over time, the filter accumulates dust, which can reduce airflow, diminish AC efficiency, and even harbor bacteria. If you notice strong odors in the car while driving, it's a good idea to check the filter. The XC60's filter model is common and easy to find, with parts costing around 100 yuan. Doing it yourself saves on labor costs.
