Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

On the 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, the engine air filter and cabin air filter serve distinct but equally important roles. The engine air filter ensures clean airflow into the turbocharged 2.0 inline engine, protecting the turbocharger, maintaining the vehicle’s 208 horsepower output, and preserving fuel efficiency across city and highway driving. The cabin air filter focuses on interior comfort, removing pollen, dust, and pollutants that can compromise air quality and HVAC performance. Maintain both filters to avoid reduced acceleration, poor fuel economy, or HVAC odors. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth, our factory-trained technicians inspect both filters during routine service, use OEM-spec parts, and provide clear recommendations. We prioritize transparency: you’ll receive a straightforward estimate, guidance on intervals, and details on warranty implications.
