The engine air filter sits inside the intake air box in the engine bay; the cabin filter is typically behind the glove box.

Open the hood and look for the rectangular air box with clips or screws and an intake snorkel—inside is the engine filter. The cabin filter is accessed from the passenger side and usually requires lowering or removing the glove box to reach the HVAC filter tray. If you prefer, our Toyota-trained team can replace both filters quickly.

The engine air filter cleans air for combustion, while the cabin air filter cleans air for the HVAC system and passengers.

On the 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, the engine filter protects the 2.5L inline-4 hybrid powertrain from dirt that can reduce performance and efficiency. The cabin filter improves in-cabin air quality by trapping dust and other particles before they enter the vents, helping maintain clear airflow and HVAC performance.

• Engine filter: protects engine components and performance.
• Cabin filter: protects occupants and HVAC airflow.
• Both should meet Toyota specifications for proper fit.

Reduced power/mpg suggest an engine filter issue; weak HVAC airflow or musty odors point to a clogged cabin filter.

For the Highlander Hybrid’s 2.5L engine, a dirty engine filter restricts intake air and can cause sluggish acceleration.

• Engine: hesitation, lower fuel economy, rougher idle.
• Cabin: weak airflow, persistent odor, louder fan noise.
• Book diagnostics: schedule service.
