2026 Toyota Grand-Highlander-Hybrid Air Filter in Peoria, AZ

The engine air filter sits inside the air box in the engine bay, ahead of the intake ducting, and the cabin filter is typically behind the glove box.

This placement lets the 2.5L inline-4 hybrid breathe clean air while keeping debris out of the intake. The cabin filter position allows easy access for HVAC airflow maintenance. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria in Peoria, AZ, we verify housing seals and clips to prevent unmetered air leaks and ensure proper fitment.

• Cabin filter: access panel behind or below glove box
• We check sealing surfaces and intake ducts during service
