It’s housed in the engine-bay airbox ahead of the engine cover, while the cabin filter sits behind the glove box.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class uses a cartridge-style engine air filter inside a sealed airbox for the 2.0L turbocharged inline-4.

What’s the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class?
The engine filter cleans intake air for the 2.0L turbocharged inline-4, while the cabin filter cleans HVAC air you and your passengers breathe.
On the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class, the engine air filter protects the turbocharged powertrain, helping support smooth acceleration and fuel economy rated at 24/34 mpg (city/highway). The cabin filter captures dust, pollen, and odors before they reach the interior. In New England’s pollen seasons and winter road conditions, both filters benefit from periodic inspection at Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield.
- Engine filter: supports performance and intake system longevity
- Cabin filter: improves in-cabin air quality and HVAC airflow
- Both are OEM-replaceable elements designed for exact fit
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class?
Watch for reduced power, fuel economy falling below the EPA 24/34 mpg, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors.
The turbocharged engine in the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class is sensitive to airflow restriction. A dirty engine filter can dull throttle response, while a clogged cabin filter causes low interior airflow and odors. If you drive through North Shore construction dust or spring pollen, inspections may be needed sooner. Book a quick check with our factory-certified team in Lynnfield.
- Sluggish acceleration or hesitation under load
- HVAC blower on high but limited airflow to vents
- Visible debris/darkened media on removed filters
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class myself, or should the dealer do it?
Yes—the engine filter is generally DIY via the airbox, but the cabin filter involves passenger-side panels; dealer service adds OEM-spec parts and system inspections.
Skilled owners can access the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class engine airbox, but the cabin filter’s confined area can be tedious. Dealer service at Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield includes fit-verified OEM filters, intake housing checks, and a visual MAF inspection.

What’s the difference between engine-filter symptoms and cabin-filter symptoms on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class?
Engine filter issues cause power loss and worse-than-24/34 mpg, while cabin filter issues cause weak airflow and interior odors.
The 2.0L turbo engine in the 2020 Mercedes-Benz A-Class needs steady airflow; restriction blunts response and economy. A blocked cabin filter, by contrast, limits HVAC output and can make the interior smell stale. If you notice both sets of symptoms, replace both filters in one visit in Lynnfield.
