2020 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid Air Filter

The engine air filter sits in a sealed air box inside the engine bay, typically on the driver’s side near the intake ducting.

Open the hood and look for a rectangular plastic housing with clips or screws feeding the intake tube; that’s the filter box on the 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid. Proper seating of the filter and lid ensures clean airflow and helps maintain fuel economy. If you’re unsure, our Hyundai technicians in Albuquerque can confirm the exact location and check for debris or leaks.

• Rectangular air box with clips/screws
• Connected to intake snorkel/duct
• Easy visual access under the hood

The cabin air filter is mounted behind the glove box in the HVAC intake area.

On the 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid, you typically lower the glove box to access a small rectangular door for the filter tray. This filter screens dust and pollen common to Central New Mexico, improving in-cabin air quality. If access is tight or you’d like a fitment check, our team at Larry H. Miller Southwest Hyundai Albuquerque can replace it while inspecting the blower intake.

• Slides out in a tray-style holder
• Protects HVAC system from dust and pollen

The engine air filter cleans air for the combustion intake, while the cabin air filter cleans air for the HVAC and passengers.

On the 2020 Hyundai Ioniq Plug-In Hybrid, the engine filter protects performance and helps maintain efficiency by stopping dust before it reaches the intake. The cabin filter traps dust and allergens entering the ventilation system, supporting comfort in Albuquerques dry, dusty climate. Both should be inspected routinely for loading and damage.

Replace the engine air filter at the OEM-recommended mileage interval, and inspect more often if you drive in New Mexico dust or on unpaved roads.

High-desert dust around Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and Bernalillo can load the media faster than typical urban use. Check the filter at each oil service and replace when the media is dark or airflow is restricted. Our technicians can measure restriction and confirm fitment during a quick visit.

• Follow the owners manual mileage interval
• Shorten interval for frequent dust/pollen exposure
• Book a checkup: schedule service

Replace the cabin air filter at the OEM interval, and consider earlier service during heavy pollen or wildfire smoke periods.
