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

The 2024 Kia Telluride’s engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox within the engine bay, ahead of the intake ducting.

This airbox is designed to draw outside air through the filter before it reaches the 3.8L V6 intake. On the Telluride, the rectangular housing typically opens with clips or screws for quick access. If you’re unsure of the exact placement, our technicians at Herb Chambers Kia of Burlington can identify the housing, inspect the filter, and confirm fitment of a Genuine Kia element.

What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2024 Kia Telluride?

The engine air filter protects the V6’s intake from dust, while the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the HVAC system for passengers.

The engine filter lives under the hood and helps maintain performance by keeping debris out of the intake tract. The cabin filter is typically positioned behind the glove box and removes dust, pollen, and other particulates from interior airflow. Both are serviceable items and benefit from Genuine Kia filters for the correct fit and filtration.

  • Engine filter = combustion air; cabin filter = passenger/HVAC air
  • Locations: engine bay airbox; usually behind the Telluride’s glove box
  • OEM fit helps ensure proper sealing and airflow
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2024 Kia Telluride?

Engine: reduced power or mpg; Cabin: weak airflow or musty odors are common signs on a 2024 Kia Telluride.

A dirty engine air filter can make the Telluride feel sluggish and may worsen fuel economy. A clogged cabin filter often shows up as diminished fan output, hazy windows, or persistent interior odors. If you notice these symptoms in Burlington or nearby, a quick inspection can confirm whether replacement is due.

Can I replace the air filter on my 2024 Kia Telluride myself, or should the dealer do it?

Yes—engine air filters are typically DIY-friendly, while the cabin filter may require glove box access and trim movement.

Many Telluride owners can swap the engine filter by opening the airbox and seating an OEM-spec element correctly. Cabin filters often sit behind the glove box and can involve removing stops or panels. A dealer visit adds a housing seal check, an intake/MAF visual, and disposal of the used filter—steps that help ensure proper airflow and performance.

  • DIY possible for engine filter; cabin filter can be trickier
  • Dealer adds intake housing and MAF visual checks
  • Genuine Kia filters available in Burlington, MA

2024 Kia Telluride Air Filter Specifications

The 2024 Kia Telluride uses two primary filters: an engine air filter that protects the 3.8L V6 intake and a cabin air filter that cleans HVAC airflow for passengers. The engine element mounts inside a sealed airbox to ensure correct direction of flow and perimeter sealing. The cabin filter typically sits behind the glove box, accessible after releasing the compartment stops. Genuine Kia filters are engineered for proper fit, sealing, and filtration efficiency that aligns with factory specifications. If you notice reduced power, lower fuel economy, weak HVAC airflow, or interior odors, it’s time for an inspection.
