Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2016 Alfa Romeo 4C is essential for performance and comfort. The engine air filter protects the turbocharged 1.7L engine by keeping abrasive particles and foreign debris out of the intake system, ensuring consistent horsepower and efficient combustion. The cabin air filter, by contrast, keeps pollen, dust, and road contaminants from entering the HVAC system so passengers enjoy cleaner, healthier air. Both filters require periodic inspection—engine filters to maintain power delivery and fuel economy, cabin filters to preserve ventilation quality and reduce HVAC strain. Herb Chambers Alfa Romeo of Boston in Boston, MA, provides factory-trained technicians who use OEM replacement filters and proper installation techniques so both systems perform as designed. Our service advisors explain condition-based recommendations, and if replacement is needed we highlight immediate and long-term savings from correct parts and workmanship.
