Where are the engine and cabin air filters on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class?

The engine air filter sits in the engine-bay airbox, and the cabin filter is housed behind the glove box in the HVAC intake on the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class.

Pop the hood to find the engine air filter inside a sealed airbox that feeds the 2.0L turbo inline-4 intake. The dust/pollen cabin filter is mounted upstream of the blower motor, typically accessed by removing the glove-box trim. If you prefer expert installation and fitment validation, book with Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield in Lynnfield, MA.

Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class?

The engine air filter protects the 2.0L turbo intake from dirt, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers in the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class.

Both filters serve different systems: one safeguards combustion and sensors; the other improves in-cabin air quality. Using Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts maintains proper fitment, airflow, and filtration performance. If you drive throughout Greater Boston, clean filters support efficiency and comfort.

  • Engine filter: shields turbo, MAF, and intake tract
  • Cabin filter: reduces dust, pollen, and odors
  • OEM fit helps preserve designed airflow and noise levels
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class?

Typical signs include reduced power, lower fuel economy, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, and musty odors in a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class.

On the engine side, restricted airflow can dull the 302 hp turbo-fours response and affect fuel trims. In the cabin, a saturated microfilter limits blower output and can trap moisture and smells. If you notice these symptoms, schedule an inspection in Lynnfield for a quick confirmation.

  • Engine: hesitation, sluggish acceleration, sooty filter media
  • Cabin: diminished vents output, persistent odors, dusty vents
  • Book a check: schedule service
Can I replace the air filter on my 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class myself, or should the dealer do it?

The engine filter is generally DIY-friendly, but cabin filter access and sealing are easier to get right at a dealer for a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class.

Many owners can swap the engine filter by unclipping the airbox and seating the new element squarely. The cabin microfilter may require trim removal and careful gasket alignment to prevent whistling or bypass. At Mercedes-Benz of Lynnfield, we also inspect intake ducts and the MAF for contamination.
