Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia is essential to keeping both performance and comfort at their best. The engine air filter protects the 2.9L V6 twin-turbo system and intake sensors from abrasive particles; when clean, it enables full horsepower and efficient combustion, helping preserve factory-rated performance and the responsiveness Alfa Romeo drivers expect. The cabin air filter, by contrast, conditions the passenger environment by removing pollen, dust, and urban pollutants before they enter the vents. Both filters serve distinct but complementary roles: one preserves engine health and fuel economy, the other protects occupant comfort and HVAC efficiency. At Herb Chambers Alfa Romeo of Boston we inspect both filters during routine service, install OEM parts that match factory specifications, and provide clear recommendations. Our certified technicians explain the benefits of timely replacement, show inspection results, and highlight long-term savings that come from preventing premature wear on turbochargers or HVAC components.
