2023 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe Air Filter

The engine air filter sits inside the airbox in the engine bay ahead of the 3.0L inline-6 intake; the cabin filter mounts behind the glove box.

This SUV’s 3.0L inline-6 (engine code 6ITWM3.0) uses an under‑hood airbox designed to feed the twincharged intake path clean air. The cabin dust/pollen filter is positioned in the HVAC path, typically accessed by removing the glove box trim. Our Lynnfield team can confirm placement and access steps during your appointment.

• Engine bay: forward/right-side airbox feeds the inline-6 intake
• Cabin filter: behind glove box in the HVAC housing
• Premium unleaded (required) powertrain benefits from clean intake air

The engine air filter protects the twincharged 3.0L inline-6 from debris, while the cabin air filter cleans HVAC air for passengers.

These two filters do different jobs: the engine filter preserves performance and longevity by keeping dirt out of the intake; the cabin filter captures dust and allergens before they reach the interior vents. Both are key to comfort and reliability for daily driving around Greater Boston.

• Engine filter: supports 429 hp at 6,100 rpm and 384 lb‑ft at 1,800 rpm
• Cabin filter: reduces dust, pollen, and odors in the passenger area
• Using OEM filters maintains airflow and fitment

Engine symptoms include reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy, and rough idle; cabin symptoms include weak HVAC airflow and musty odors.

If the engine filter is restricted, the inline-6 may feel sluggish and the 9‑speed automatic may hunt more under load. A dirty cabin filter often shows as hazy windshield fogging and fan noise with less airflow. If you notice these changes in Lynnfield traffic, book a prompt inspection.

• Engine: hesitation under throttle and harsher shifts
• Cabin: diminished defrost performance and stale smells
• Schedule a check: schedule service

Yes—many owners can DIY the engine air filter, but the cabin filter often requires trim removal best handled by a certified technician.

The engine airbox allows straightforward access with basic tools; the cabin filter sits behind glove box panels and may involve clips and fasteners. Dealer service adds an intake housing seal check, a MAF sensor visual, and disposal of the used elements to Mercedes-Benz standards.
