2023 Hyundai NEXO Air Filter

The 2023 Hyundai NEXO engine air filter sits in the engine bay inside a rectangular airbox on the driver-side.

This enclosure feeds filtered air to the NEXO’s fuel-cell air system. Open the airbox by releasing the clips and lifting the lid to access the filter element. If you prefer professional service, our Albuquerque team can inspect and replace the filter using Hyundai OEM parts—just schedule service.

• Driver-side rectangular airbox under the hood
• Lift lid after releasing integrated clips
• OEM-spec media designed for NEXO fuel-cell intake protection

The 2023 Hyundai NEXO cabin air filter is behind the glove box, accessed through a small service panel.

Lower the glove box and remove the access cover to reach the cabin filter cartridge. Replacing this filter helps maintain HVAC airflow and reduce dust and pollen in cabin air—important for city and high-desert driving in Central New Mexico. For an OEM replacement and fit check, schedule service with our Hyundai team.

• Located directly behind the glove box compartment
• Remove service panel to slide the filter out
• Improves HVAC airflow and in-cabin air quality

The engine air filter protects the NEXO’s fuel-cell air supply, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

The engine-side filter screens intake air before it reaches the fuel-cell air compressor and related components. The cabin filter captures particulates and allergens entering through the HVAC system. Both are serviceable items and benefit from OEM media and correct fitment. Check our service specials or schedule service online.

• Engine filter: shields fuel-cell intake path from debris
• Cabin filter: reduces dust, pollen, and odors in the interior
• Distinct locations and service procedures

Common signs include reduced performance under load, higher energy consumption, and visible dirt on the filter media.

Because the NEXO is a hydrogen fuel-cell SUV, restricted intake airflow can affect responsiveness and efficiency. If you drive in dusty areas around Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, or along construction corridors, debris loading can occur faster. Our technicians can inspect the intake housing and filter condition—book a visit via schedule service.

• Sluggish acceleration or strained response
• Decreased efficiency compared with typical routes
• Filter element appears dark, clogged, or damaged

Tell-tale signs are weak HVAC airflow, persistent windshield haze, and musty or dusty odors from the vents.

High-desert dust and seasonal pollen in Central New Mexico can load the cabin filter quickly, especially with frequent city driving. If you notice reduced airflow or odors, replacing the cabin filter restores comfort and helps your defroster perform better. See current service specials or schedule service today.

• Airflow drops even at higher fan settings
• Odors or visible dust on dash surfaces
• HVAC works harder to maintain comfort

Yes—many owners DIY the engine filter, while the cabin filter typically requires glove box removal and careful reassembly.

DIY can work if you’re comfortable opening the airbox and aligning the filter correctly; the cabin filter involves removing the glove box, which can be awkward in tight spaces. Dealer service includes an intake housing check and installation of Hyundai OEM-spec filters. If you prefer professional help, schedule an appointment.

For cabin air, we lower the glove box, remove the access panel, inspect for debris, and install a Hyundai-spec cabin filter to restore HVAC airflow and in-cabin air quality. A visual check of intake tract condition is included, along with a general look at sensors and connections in the serviced area.

The cabin air filter mounts behind the glove box and is designed to capture dust and pollen typical of Central New Mexico driving.
