2026 Toyota Highlander-Hybrid Air Filter in Murray, UT

The engine air filter sits inside a rectangular airbox in the engine bay, typically secured by clips or screws.

This airbox feeds fresh air to the 2.5L inline 4-cylinder hybrid system on the 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Access is straightforward under the hood, making inspections quick during routine service in Murray. Our technicians ensure the airbox seal and ducting are seated correctly to prevent unmetered air.

• Airbox in engine bay; lid retained by clips/screws
• Feeds the 2.5L I-4 hybrid intake tract
• Seal and duct checks included during service

The cabin air filter is located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake area.

On the 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, the glove box lowers to reveal the filter access door. This position helps trap dust, pollen, and road debris before air reaches the vents—useful for daily drives across the Salt Lake Valley. Our team in Murray can replace it and reset any related service reminders.

• Slides into a rectangular HVAC slot
• Protects passengers from dust and pollen

The engine air filter protects the 2.5L hybrid engine’s intake, while the cabin air filter cleans air for passengers through the HVAC system.
