What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?
Engine air filters protect the powertrain and fuel efficiency; cabin air filters protect passengers from pollen, dust, and pollutants.

Warranty repairs must be performed at certified dealerships like Park Place Motorcars Dallas to maintain coverage.

What types of air filters are in a 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class?
The vehicle uses an engine air filter designed for turbocharged 2.0L engines and a cabin pollen/filter media sized for the CLA-Class cabin. Park Place Motorcars Dallas installs genuine OEM filters to maintain performance, filtration efficiency, and warranty compliance. Check our service specials for bundled savings on both filters and routine maintenance.
2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class Cabin Air Filter
