Where is the air filter in a 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?

How often should I change the engine air filter on my 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
Inspect at every oil change; typical replacement intervals are 15,000–30,000 miles depending on driving conditions. Severe dust, frequent towing, or city stop-and-go traffic means earlier replacement—our team will recommend the right interval and offers service financing for immediate care.
What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?
Engine air filters protect the engine and intake system; cabin filters protect passengers by filtering pollen, dust, and pollutants from incoming air.

What are signs of a bad air filter?
Reduced acceleration, lower fuel economy, rough idle, or unusual HVAC odors indicate a clogged engine or cabin filter. Our certified inspection in Draper pins down the cause quickly; ask about our transparent pricing, warranty guidance, and service financing when you schedule appointment.
What types of air filters are in a 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class?
The vehicle uses an engine air filter sized for its 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 intake and a pleated cabin filter (often multi-layer or activated charcoal options for better odor control). We install OEM or Mercedes-approved parts and any warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage—contact Mercedes-Benz of Draper for details.
2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Cabin Air Filter
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class cabin air filter plays a central role in passenger comfort and in-cabin air quality. This pleated filter captures pollen, dust, soot, and odors that would otherwise enter the HVAC system; in urban or high-dust conditions it should be inspected more frequently. At Mercedes-Benz of Draper in Draper, UT, our technicians perform a thorough evaluation that includes visual inspection and airflow testing to determine whether replacement is needed. We use OEM cabin filters or Mercedes-approved equivalents, ensuring fit, filtration efficiency, and odor control that match the vehicle's engineering. Choosing dealership service delivers transparent pricing, documented maintenance history, and warranty protection—important for long-term value. We also offer service financing so you can complete necessary maintenance today and pay over time.

Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter
Understanding the difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on the 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class helps prioritize maintenance correctly. The engine air filter protects internal components—turbine housing, mass airflow sensor, and combustion chambers—from particulate contamination, which preserves horsepower, torque, and fuel economy for the turbocharged 3.0L inline-6. The cabin filter protects occupants, improving HVAC efficiency and reducing allergens and smells inside the vehicle. Both filters are critical: a clogged engine filter can strain the turbo and reduce performance, while a clogged cabin filter can reduce airflow and comfort. Mercedes-Benz of Draper offers certified technicians, OEM parts, and full documentation of service so you get immediate benefits (better performance and comfort) and long-term savings (reduced wear and better resale value). Our team will advise on replacement timing, warranty implications, and financing options. To keep your CLS-Class performing at its best, schedule service or review available service specials.
