Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The 2020 Nissan LEAF is an electric vehicle, which changes the typical maintenance conversation: it does not use a conventional engine air filter like gasoline cars, so the cabin air filter becomes the central filter to monitor and replace. The engine air filter on internal combustion vehicles cleans air for fuel combustion; by contrast, the cabin air filter protects passengers and the HVAC system from pollen, dust, and airborne pollutants. Maintaining both (where applicable) preserves performance and comfort. For the 2020 Nissan LEAF, focusing on the cabin filter and HVAC inspections ensures the climate system performs efficiently, reduces strain on motors and blowers, and keeps cabin air healthy. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our certified technicians use OEM parts and follow Nissan-recommended procedures to inspect and replace filters quickly and transparently. Regular filter maintenance reduces the risk of costly repairs, improves energy use of HVAC systems (important for electric range), and keeps your LEAF comfortable year-round. Ready to act?
