Cabin Filters

A car cabin air filter helps clean the air that enters your vehicle’s interior through the heating and air conditioning system. It traps dust, pollen, soot, and other airborne contaminants, improving the air quality inside your car.

There are three main types of cabin air filters: Pollen filters, Charcoal filters, and HEPA filters. Each type offers different levels of filtration and protection against airborne particles, odours, and allergens.

A pollen filter is a standard cabin air filter that captures common airborne particles such as pollen, dust, and dirt. It’s ideal for everyday use and helps reduce allergic reactions while driving.

Charcoal (or activated carbon) filters offer all the benefits of a pollen filter but also neutralise odours and harmful gases. The activated carbon layer absorbs fumes, smoke, and unpleasant smells, improving in-car air freshness.

HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) cabin filters provide the highest level of filtration. They can remove up to 99.97% of airborne particles including bacteria, allergens, and even some viruses, making them ideal for sensitive individuals or high-pollution areas.

Most cabin air filters should be replaced every 12,000 to 15,000 miles or at least once a year. However, this can vary depending on your driving environment. If you drive in urban areas or places with heavy pollen or pollution, more frequent replacement may be necessary.
