2024 Hyundai Kona Electric Air Filter

There isn’t an engine air filter on the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric because it uses an electric drive motor, not a combustion engine.

Unlike gas-powered SUVs, the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric has no intake for combustion, so there’s no engine air box to service. Your EV does use a cabin air filter to clean the air entering the HVAC system for passengers. If you’re unsure which filter you need, our team in Albuquerque can confirm by VIN and inspect the HVAC intake path.

• No engine air filter is present on the Kona Electric
• Only the cabin air filter requires periodic replacement

The 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric has no engine air filter; it only uses a cabin air filter to clean the air entering the HVAC system for passengers.

On gasoline vehicles, engine filters protect the engine from dust; EVs like the Kona Electric don’t need that. Your focus is the cabin air filter, which traps dust, pollen, and roadway particulates before they reach interior vents. Replacing the cabin element maintains clear airflow and keeps odors down—especially helpful during windy, dusty seasons in Central New Mexico.

• EV = no engine intake filter; cabin filter only
• Cabin filter targets HVAC/passenger air quality
• Local dust and pollen can load the cabin filter faster

Typical signs include weak HVAC airflow, increased fan noise, and musty or dusty odors from the vents.

Because the Kona Electric doesn’t have an engine filter, these symptoms point to a restricted cabin filter. In Albuquerque’s dry, dusty conditions, the element can load up faster after windstorms or construction-zone driving. If you notice fogged windows that clear slowly or uneven vent output, it’s time to have the cabin filter inspected and replaced if contaminated.

• Weak or uneven airflow at normal fan settings
• Musty smell when A/C or heat first turns on
• Fan runs louder to move the same amount of air

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

On the 2024 Hyundai Kona Electric, you generally access the cabin filter by lowering or removing the glove box to reach the rectangular filter door. This placement makes periodic checks straightforward and helps keep interior air clean. If you’d prefer professional installation, our OEM-certified technicians can replace it and verify proper airflow during the same visit.

• Access point: behind glove box area
• Rectangular filter door on the HVAC housing
• Quick appointments available: schedule service
