Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter is key to keeping your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport running smoothly and your passengers comfortable. The engine air filter protects the 2.4L inline-4 from dust and debris that can reduce power and shorten engine life; the cabin air filter protects occupants by trapping pollen, dust, and pollutants from the outside air. Both filters play distinct roles in vehicle health and comfort, and neglecting either can lead to reduced fuel economy, diminished performance, or poor interior air quality. At Arapahoe Hyundai in CO, our service team inspects both filters during routine maintenance, recommends OEM replacements where appropriate, and clearly explains the benefits and projected intervals.
