2018 Hyundai Ioniq-Hybrid Air Filter in Albuquerque, NM

The engine air filter sits inside a sealed airbox in the engine bay, forward of the engine.

This airbox location allows the 1.6L inline-4 hybrid powertrain to draw clean air efficiently while protecting the intake tract. On the 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid, the housing uses clips or screws for service access. Our Albuquerque team checks the airbox seals and intake snorkel for dust intrusion common in Central New Mexico.

• Airbox positioned in the engine compartment ahead of the engine
• Access typically via clips or screws on the housing lid
• We inspect seals and ducts for dust/pollen ingress

The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake path.

This position lets the filter clean incoming air before it reaches the vents, trapping dust and pollen typical of Albuquerque’s high-desert climate. Access usually involves lowering or removing the glove box and sliding out the filter tray. If clips or dampers are tight, our technicians can service it quickly and verify blend door operation.

• Behind-glove-box access through a removable filter door
• Protects occupants by filtering HVAC intake air
• Good practice: sanitize housing when replacing the filter
