2023 Dodge Hornet Air Filter in Denver, CO

The 2023 Dodge Hornet’s engine air filter is housed in the engine bay within the intake air box.

Pop the hood and locate the intake air box on the passenger side of the bay; the filter sits inside under a clipped or screwed-on cover. The cabin air filter is separate, typically accessed behind the glove box. Our Denver team can confirm placement and access method for your specific build and engine bay layout.

On the 2023 Dodge Hornet, the engine filter protects the 2.0L inline-4 from dust and debris to support power and fuel economy. The cabin filter sits in the HVAC path to reduce pollen and particulates you breathe inside the SUV. Both serve different systems and are replaced on separate schedules.
