Where is the cabin air filter located in the Zotye T700?

The cabin air filter in the Zotye T700 is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. The Zotye T700 is equipped with a 1.8T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 177 PS, a maximum torque of 245 Nm, and a maximum power output of 130 kW. The engine reaches its maximum power at 4000 to 5800 rpm and its maximum torque at 2000 to 4000 rpm. It is paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Zotye T700 has dimensions of 4748 mm in length, 1933 mm in width, and 1697 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850 mm. The minimum ground clearance is 165 mm, and the vehicle weight is 1787 kg.

My Zotye T700 has been running for over three years, and the cabin air filter is hidden behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. Last time I replaced it myself, I found that I had to remove the entire glove box first. There are retaining clips on both sides of the compartment—just press them inward firmly to make the glove box hang down. Peering inside, you'll see a rectangular plastic cover. Pry open the clips with your fingernail, and the white pleated cabin air filter will be exposed. Remember to check the airflow direction arrow when removing the old filter, and don’t install the new one backward, as it will affect the filtration efficiency. Actually, many SUVs are designed this way, mainly for easier replacement.

I'm familiar with the location of the Zotye T700's cabin air filter - it's behind the glove compartment liner on the passenger side. To replace the filter, first empty the glove box, then simultaneously press the plastic stoppers on both sides to fully lower the entire glove compartment. You'll see a black plastic cover - just pull the edge downward to open it. The filter inside measures about 25cm long and has an activated carbon layer. By the way, it's best to check the drainage channel before rainy season - if leaves clog it, the filter can easily grow mold. DIY replacement is quite simple, whereas a repair shop would charge around 100 yuan in labor fees.

A friend just called to ask about this, and I happen to drive a T700. The exact location of the cabin air filter is deep inside the glove compartment on the passenger side. You'll need to remove the entire glove box. Pay attention to the limit clips on both sides of the compartment—press them towards the center simultaneously to release them. Inside, a panel is secured by three plastic clips; lift it to reveal the filter slot. Remember to use your phone's flashlight for better visibility and place a towel under the driver's seat to catch any dust. I upgraded to a dual-effect activated carbon filter right after getting the new car, which offers significantly better filtration than the factory single-layer one.

The air filter for the Zotye T700 is located behind the glove box on the passenger side. Specifically, you need to remove the storage compartment to replace it: Open the compartment door, push up from the bottom, then pull towards you to detach the hinges. At this point, you'll see a gridded cover deep inside with a plastic handle on the left—pull it downward to remove the cover. The filter element measures 19518030 mm and features a folded design. It's recommended to check it every 8,000 kilometers, especially for owners who frequently drive on dirt roads, as it's more prone to clogging during the catkin season. DIY replacement costs around 40 yuan, which is half the price of a 4S shop.

I've thoroughly studied the location of the air conditioning filter in my Zotye T700—it's behind the partition in the glove compartment on the passenger side. To access it, first empty the glove box, then locate the black limiters on both sides of the inner wall. Press them inward toward the car using your thumb and index finger. Once the glove box is completely detached, you'll find a plastic cover with ventilation holes. Lift the three plastic clips to reveal the air filter itself. Be careful not to shake dust into the air ducts when removing it. After installing the new filter, test the airflow direction. The manufacturer recommends replacing it every six months, but I replace it every three months due to the heavy dust in northern China. Online purchases of PM2.5 filters cost around thirty yuan.
