Where is the cabin air filter located on the Great Wall Haval H6?

The cabin air filter of the Great Wall Haval H6 is located behind the glove compartment on the passenger side. After removing the glove compartment, you can see it by opening the cabin air filter cover. The Great Wall Haval H6 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4653mm, width 1886mm, height 1730mm, and a wheelbase of 2738mm. It is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 211PS and a maximum torque of 325Nm, with the maximum torque available between 1500 to 4000 rpm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a double-wishbone independent suspension.
I just replaced the cabin air filter of my Haval H6 myself, which is located behind the glove compartment in front of the passenger seat. When you pull open the glove box, you'll find limit buckles on both sides - you need to apply some skillful force and squeeze them inward simultaneously to fully remove it. After taking it off, you'll see a cover panel that can be easily pried open to reveal the filter slot. Pay attention to the airflow direction indicated by the arrow on the filter - many people get this wrong when installing it for the first time. I recommend buying activated carbon replacement filters as they provide better PM2.5 filtration. DIY replacement is super easy - the labor charge at a 4S shop alone could buy you five filters.
As a veteran driver who has owned five cars of different brands, the design of the Haval H6 is quite reasonable. The air filter is hidden behind the glove box, avoiding the high temperature of the engine compartment while making it easy to replace. When performing the specific operation, remember to turn off the engine and power, and when removing the glove box, support the bottom and then press the clips on both sides. Once removed, you'll see a black plastic cover panel—just use a screwdriver to pry open the clip on the right side. I replace it once every year before winter, otherwise, there's always a musty smell when turning on the heater. A reminder for everyone in smog-prone areas: it's best to replace the filter every three months, and the filter only costs around 40-50 yuan.
