Frequently Asked Questions

11 common questions answered

Where is the engine air filter located on a 2024 Kia K5?

The 2024 Kia K5 engine air filter sits inside a rectangular airbox in the engine bay, typically on the driver-side near the intake tube.

Open the hood and look for a plastic airbox with clips or screws and a duct leading to the front grille. Inside is the panel-style filter that protects the 1.6L inline-4 intake. If you prefer a professional inspection in Burlington, MA, our team on Cambridge Street (Route 3A) can confirm condition and fit OEM-spec replacements.

  • Panel filter in a sealed airbox
  • Driver-side placement is common on K5
  • Access usually requires clips or screws
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2024 Kia K5?

The 2024 Kia K5 cabin air filter is typically located behind the glove box within the HVAC housing.

Lower or remove the glove box to reveal a small access door on the HVAC case and slide the filter cassette out. This filter cleans air entering the cabin and helps manage odors and allergens, useful during New England pollen seasons. If you’d like help, schedule service and we’ll replace it with an OEM-spec element.

  • Behind-glove-box access door
  • No engine-bay work required
  • Protects HVAC and passenger air quality
What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2024 Kia K5?

The engine air filter protects the 1.6L I-4’s intake from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans air for passengers and the HVAC system.

The engine filter helps maintain performance and combustion efficiency by keeping dirt out of the intake tract. The cabin filter traps dust, pollen, and particulates before they enter the interior. For Burlington drivers, both matter: coastal moisture and seasonal pollen can load filters faster than expected.

  • Engine filter = intake protection
  • Cabin filter = interior air quality
  • Different locations and service steps
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2024 Kia K5?

Common 2024 Kia K5 symptoms include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle (engine filter) and weak airflow or musty odors (cabin filter).

If your K5 feels sluggish, hunts at idle, or the HVAC struggles to push air, a dirty filter may be the cause. Road salt dust and seasonal pollen around Burlington can accelerate clogging. A quick inspection and replacement with an OEM-spec filter can restore performance and comfort.

  • Engine: hesitation and poorer MPG
  • Cabin: weak vents, odors, foggy windows
  • Visible dirt on filter media
Can I replace the air filter on my 2024 Kia K5 myself, or should the dealer do it?

Yes—engine and cabin filters on a 2024 Kia K5 are DIY-friendly, but dealer service adds OEM fitment checks and intake/HVAC inspections.

Many owners can unclip the airbox or drop the glove box to swap filters. At Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington, technicians also inspect the intake housing, seals, and visually check the MAF area to prevent leaks and drivability issues. For convenience, you can schedule an appointment online.
