Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Distinguishing the engine air filter from the cabin air filter on your 2021 Volkswagen Arteon is essential for targeted maintenance and peak performance. The engine air filter protects internal components—keeping particulates out of the intake and ensuring consistent combustion to preserve the vehicle's 268 horsepower and factory torque. A clean engine air filter helps your Arteon achieve its EPA-rated fuel economy and reduces stress on sensors and turbocharger components. The cabin air filter, by contrast, is focused on passenger comfort and health: it traps pollen, dust, and odors to keep the interior air fresh and the HVAC system operating efficiently. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood in Lakewood, CO, our certified technicians inspect and service both filters during routine maintenance, using OEM-grade parts to guarantee proper fitment and filtration. Maintaining both filters prevents immediate issues like reduced acceleration or weak HVAC flow and saves money long term by avoiding component wear. Ready to protect your investment?
