Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Maintaining both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class GLA 250 ensures peak performance and comfort. The engine air filter protects the turbocharged 2.0L inline engine by keeping abrasive particles out of the intake system, which preserves sensor accuracy, prevents premature component wear, and helps the vehicle hold its rated 221 horsepower and responsive acceleration. The cabin air filter, by contrast, focuses on passenger well-being, trapping pollen, dust, and pollutants before they enter the HVAC system. At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth we explain the functional differences clearly, show you both filters during inspection, and recommend service based on condition and driving environment. Using OEM filters preserves fit and filtration efficiency and helps keep factory warranties intact.
