Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an air filter important for a 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric?

What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• Performance & health: maintaining the cabin filter preserves HVAC efficiency and interior air quality; proper maintenance reduces HVAC strain and long-term repair costs, delivering immediate and ongoing savings when serviced at our dealership.
• Certified work: warranty-covered issues must be addressed at a certified dealership—trust Larry H. Miller Hyundai Peoria’s factory-trained technicians and clear service estimates.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced airflow or strange odors in the cabin—dirty cabin filters can cause musty or stale smells and reduce HVAC circulation.
• Increased pollen or dust inside the vehicle—if occupants notice more irritation, it’s time for an inspection.
• Declining HVAC performance and longer run-times—replacing the cabin filter restores normal airflow and efficiency, often saving energy and wear on HVAC components.
• We offer quick inspections and clear pricing; you can schedule service online and explore current service specials to reduce cost.

What types of air filters are in a 2023 Hyundai Kona Electric?

• Cabin air filter: the primary replaceable filter is the cabin air filter—typically a pleated or activated-carbon style that captures dust, pollen, and odors.
• Other filtration: while there’s no engine air filter on this EV, we inspect HVAC intakes, particle traps, and any secondary filters as part of comprehensive service at our dealership.
• OEM vs aftermarket: we use OEM parts for the best fit and long-term reliability; taking advantage of our transparent pricing and service specials yields great value, plus service financing is available if you need it.
