12 common questions answered
Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Honda HR-V?
The 2020 Honda HR-V engine air filter sits in a sealed airbox within the engine bay, just ahead of the engine intake.
The airbox is designed to be easily accessible for inspection and replacement without special tools. During service at Larry H. Miller Honda Murray in Murray, UT, our technicians open the housing, inspect the filter media for debris, and verify the airbox seal to prevent unmetered air. Proper placement and sealing protect the HR-V’s mass airflow readings and throttle response.
- Located in a rectangular airbox in the engine bay
- Protects the 1.8L inline-4 intake tract from dust
- Housing seal checked to prevent leaks
Where is the cabin air filter on a 2020 Honda HR-V?
The 2020 Honda HR-V cabin air filter is positioned behind the glove box in the HVAC intake path.
This location filters incoming air before it reaches the vents, capturing dust, pollen, and road debris. Our team at Larry H. Miller Honda Murray gently releases the glove box stops, removes the filter tray, replaces the element with a Honda OEM part, and verifies blower airflow. This helps maintain clear defrost performance and fresh interior air in Murray’s changing seasons.
- Accessed by lowering the glove box
- Filters HVAC air for occupants, not the engine
- OEM filter ensures proper fit and sealing
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Honda HR-V?
The HR-V has two filters with different jobs: the engine air filter protects combustion air, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you breathe.
The engine filter lives in the under-hood airbox and shields the 1.8L inline-4 from dust that can harm sensors and reduce performance. The cabin filter sits behind the glove box and captures fine particles before they enter the interior. Both should be inspected regularly for debris loading, especially with stop-and-go driving around Murray.
- Engine filter = intake protection for performance and longevity
- Cabin filter = cleaner interior air and clearer defrost
- Each uses a different housing and media design
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Honda HR-V?
Three common signs are reduced engine power, lower fuel economy, and weak or musty HVAC airflow.
On the engine side, a dirty filter can restrict intake, prompting sluggish acceleration and rougher idle in your HR-V. In the cabin, a loaded filter may cause stale odors, increased dust on surfaces, or diminished vent output. During a visit to Larry H. Miller Honda Murray, we inspect both filters and the intake housing to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
- Engine: hesitation, more frequent downshifts
- Cabin: musty smell, hazy glass, weak airflow
- Visual check: dark, debris-laden filter media
Can I replace the air filter on my 2020 Honda HR-V myself, or should the dealer do it?
Yesyou can DIY many HR-V air filter swaps, but dealer service adds OEM-spec parts plus intake and MAF inspections.
The engine air filter is generally a simple airbox release and swap. The cabin filter requires lowering the glove box and handling a delicate tray, which some owners prefer a technician to do. At Larry H. Miller Honda Murray, we install genuine Honda filters, check housing seals, and visually inspect the MAF and ducts to protect drivability.
