Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2021 Volkswagen Jetta is about protecting different parts of your driving experience.

A clean engine filter supports fuel economy—29 MPG city and 39 MPG highway—and reduces stress on components, which lowers long-term maintenance costs.

Both filters should be inspected regularly; neglecting either can affect comfort, performance and component life. At Larry H.
