2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid Air Filter in Burlington, MA

The 2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid engine air filter sits in the engine bay inside the sealed air intake box ahead of the engine.

This location allows the filter to clean incoming air before it reaches the 1.6L turbocharged inline-4 intake tract. Access typically involves unclipping or unscrewing the air box lid. Our Burlington, MA service team can inspect and replace the filter using OEM-spec parts and proper sealing to prevent unmetered air.

• Housed in the intake air box under the hood
• Protects the 1.6L turbocharged engine from dust and debris
• We can inspect it during your scheduled visit — schedule service

The engine air filter protects the turbocharged intake for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you breathe inside the vehicle.

On the 2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid, the engine filter safeguards performance and helps maintain fuel economy by filtering intake air before the turbo and MAF sensor. The cabin filter, typically located behind the glove box, traps dust, pollen, and particulates for cleaner interior air, especially around Burlington and greater Boston.

• Engine: pre-combustion filtration in the intake system
• Cabin: HVAC airflow filtration for passengers
• Both available as Genuine Kia OEM parts

Common signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine filter) and weak HVAC airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).

If your 2022 Kia Sorento Plug-In Hybrid feels sluggish or the turbo doesnt seem to breathe freely, the engine filter may be dirty. Inside the cabin, decreased ventilation, haze on the windshield, or odors point to a saturated cabin filter. Our team in Burlington can inspect both and restore airflow with OEM-spec replacements.

• Engine: hesitation, poorer MPG, unusual intake noise
• Cabin: reduced fan output, increased dust, odors
