On the 2017 Hyundai Elantra GT, the airbox is mounted in the front of the engine compartment and opens with a few clips or screws for quick access.

Where is the cabin air filter on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra GT?
The 2017 Hyundai Elantra GT cabin air filter is located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake.
Access typically involves lowering or removing the glove box to reach a rectangular access door. Because trim tabs can be delicate, many drivers prefer having our technicians handle this step, especially before pollen season in Central Massachusetts. If you notice reduced airflow or odors on local commutes, it’s a good time to check it.

Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra GT?
The engine air filter protects the engines intake, while the cabin air filter cleans the air entering the passenger HVAC system.
On the 2017 Hyundai Elantra GT, the engine filter prevents dust and debris from entering the inline 4-cylinder intake, supporting power and fuel economy. The cabin filter helps reduce pollen and fine particles in the interior, which matters during New England pollen spikes and winter road grime. Both filters serve different systems and should be inspected independently.
- Engine filter = combustion air; cabin filter = passenger air
- Clean engine filter supports performance and MPG
- Fresh cabin filter improves HVAC airflow and comfort
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra GT?
