Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2010 Hyundai Sonata requires attention to both engine and cabin filtration to keep performance and comfort at their best. The engine air filter protects the 3.3L V6 from particulate contamination that can reduce horsepower and fuel economy; a clean engine filter helps the 249-horsepower, front-wheel-drive system breathe efficiently on city streets and highway miles. The cabin air filter preserves passenger comfort and HVAC performance, capturing pollen, dust, and road debris that would otherwise recirculate through the cabin. Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria in Peoria, AZ emphasizes transparent diagnostics—our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine visits, provide clear recommendations, and use OEM parts to protect your vehicle and any applicable warranties. When both filters are maintained, you’ll see immediate benefits in throttle response, lower emissions, and better interior air quality, and you’ll avoid larger repair costs down the road. To protect your Sonata and enjoy long-term value, schedule service or review current service specials.
