Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2026 Mercedes‑Benz GLE Coupe requires attention to both engine and cabin filtration to protect performance and passenger comfort. The engine air filter preserves airflow to the 4.0L twin‑turbo V8 and prevents abrasive particles from entering the intake system—critical for maintaining the vehicle’s 603 horsepower and 627 lb‑ft of torque. The cabin air filter, by contrast, protects occupants from pollen, dust, and pollution and contributes to HVAC efficiency. At Mercedes‑Benz of Draper in Draper, UT, our certified technicians inspect both filters during routine service and recommend OEM replacements when needed. Using genuine parts ensures fitment and filtration efficiency that aftermarket knock‑offs can’t always match, helping avoid premature wear on turbochargers and ensuring peak performance. We document all work for warranty integrity and offer transparent estimates, so you understand immediate costs and long‑term savings. To maintain safety, power, and comfort, schedule a combined inspection and replacement—book online to schedule service and check current service specials.
