Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on a 2026 Ford Maverick is simple but important: the engine air filter protects your engine and fuel economy by stopping dirt and debris before they enter the intake, while the cabin air filter protects passengers and the HVAC system from pollen, dust, and odors. Both filters affect performance and comfort—neglecting the engine filter can reduce horsepower and MPG and increase engine wear, while a clogged cabin filter can strain the blower motor and reduce ventilation quality.
