Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on your 2026 Alfa Romeo Tonale helps prioritize maintenance. The engine air filter protects internal components and supports combustion efficiency, affecting fuel economy and engine longevity. The cabin air filter protects passengers by filtering allergens, road dust, and odors before air reaches the HVAC system. Both are necessary: a neglected engine filter can reduce performance and increase wear; a clogged cabin filter reduces comfort and HVAC effectiveness. At Herb Chambers Alfa Romeo of Boston we diagnose both during scheduled maintenance, install OEM replacements, and provide clear, benefit-focused guidance on intervals and costs. Repairs covered under warranty must be done at certified dealerships, and we make warranty workflows simple.
