Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The distinction between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter in your 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan matters to performance and comfort. The engine air filter keeps abrasive particles away from the turbocharged 2.0L engine, protecting components and helping preserve the rated 200 horsepower and healthy torque curve. A clean engine filter reduces intake restriction, which supports fuel economy and responsiveness—especially important for the Tiguan’s crossover role in city and highway driving. The cabin air filter focuses on passenger health: it blocks pollen, dust, and road-borne contaminants from entering the cabin, improving air quality for drivers and passengers. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood in Lakewood, CO our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine maintenance, use OEM parts, and document the condition so you see the value. To keep both engine performance and interior comfort at peak, schedule service online and check current service specials to save.
