2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Air Filter in Lynnfield, MA

It sits in the engine bay airbox on the driver-side, just ahead of the turbocharged 2.0L inline-4 intake.

This placement allows the filter to clean incoming air before it reaches the turbo and mass airflow sensor. On the 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class, the cabin microfilter is separate, typically positioned behind the glove box within the HVAC housing. If you want a quick inspection or replacement, you can schedule service at our Lynnfield location.

The engine air filter protects the 302-hp 2.0L intake; the cabin microfilter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

The engine filter safeguards the turbocharged inline-4 from dust that can affect performance and sensor readings. The cabin filter traps fine particulates that enter through the ventilation system to help maintain interior comfort on North Shore commutes. Both are serviceable components and should be inspected during routine maintenance.
