Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter helps you prioritize maintenance for your 2022 Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport. The engine air filter protects the turbocharged 2.0L inline engine from abrasive particles that can reduce horsepower and accelerate wear; a clogged engine filter can increase fuel consumption and strain the turbocharger. The cabin filter, by contrast, protects occupants and the HVAC system from allergens and debris. Both are affordable preventive services that preserve performance and long-term value. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Lakewood our inspections show customers precisely which filter needs attention and why. We use genuine Volkswagen parts and factory-recommended procedures so warranty terms remain intact — remember, warranty repairs should be performed at a certified dealership.
