2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Plug-In Hybrid Air Filter

The engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox inside the engine bay, typically forward of the engine on one side.

This airbox draws outside air through the filter before it reaches the intake. On the 2023 Hyundai Santa-Fe-Plug-In-Hybrid, you can identify the airbox by its rectangular housing and retaining clips. Keeping this filter clean helps the hybrid’s gasoline engine breathe efficiently—especially important in Arizona dust. If you’d like us to check it, you can schedule an appointment online.

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

Most Hyundai SUVs, including the 2023 Hyundai Santa-Fe-Plug-In-Hybrid, place the cabin filter behind the glove box for compact packaging and easy access once the glove box is lowered. This filter cleans the air you breathe by trapping dust and pollen—a major benefit in the Phoenix West Valley. If you notice weak airflow or odors, it may be time for a replacement.

• Access typically requires lowering/removing the glove box

The engine air filter protects the engine’s intake, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC system for passengers.

In the 2023 Hyundai Santa-Fe-Plug-In-Hybrid, the engine filter supports combustion efficiency and helps maintain performance.

• Engine filter: inside the engine-bay airbox
• Cabin filter: behind the glove box in the HVAC case
• Use Hyundai Genuine filters for correct fit and filtration

Common signs include reduced power or MPG for the engine filter and weak airflow or musty odors for the cabin filter.

The 2023 Hyundai Santa-Fe-Plug-In-Hybrid uses two filters that do different jobs: the engine air filter protects the intake system, while the cabin air filter cleans air entering the HVAC for passengers. Hyundai Genuine filters are engineered for correct fitment, pleat density, and airflow, helping the hybrid powertrain run smoothly and the interior stay fresh. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for the recommended maintenance intervals and the applicable part references for your specific vehicle configuration.
