Where is the engine air filter located on a 2020 Honda CR-V?

Its in the engine bay inside a rectangular airbox on the driver-side front of the 2020 Honda CR-V.

The CR-Vs 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 uses a panel-style engine filter housed in a plastic airbox near the intake snorkel. Access typically involves releasing airbox clips or fasteners to lift the cover and slide out the filter. When servicing, inspect the airbox seal and ensure the filter is installed with the airflow orientation correct. If you prefer a professional inspection with OEM-spec parts, you can schedule service at Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk.

  • Driver-side, front corner airbox near the intake duct
  • Panel-style filter for the 1.5L turbo engine
  • Check airbox seal and alignment before closing
Whats the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Honda CR-V?

The engine air filter protects the 1.5L turbo engines intake, while the cabin air filter cleans the HVAC air you and your passengers breathe.

On the 2020 Honda CR-V, the engine filter sits in the under-hood airbox to keep dust out of the turbo and mass airflow sensor. The cabin filter is mounted in the HVAC case (typically accessed behind the glove box) to trap pollen, dust, and debris before air enters the interior. Both should meet Hondas filtration specs for best results. For OEM parts and installation in Seekonk, schedule service online.

  • Engine filter: intake protection and performance support
  • Cabin filter: in-cabin air quality via HVAC filtration
  • Locations: under-hood airbox vs. behind glove box access
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Honda CR-V?

Reduced power or lower fuel economy suggests a clogged engine filter; weak HVAC airflow or a musty odor points to a clogged cabin filter.

On the 1.5L turbo CR-V, a dirty engine filter can restrict intake flow, affecting throttle response and straining the mass airflow sensor over time. Inside the cabin, a loaded microfilter limits airflow, forces higher fan speeds, and may introduce odors. If you notice these symptoms, book a quick inspection and filter replacement. You can schedule service or check our service specials for current offers.

  • Engine: hesitation, rough idle, or decreased MPG
  • Cabin: weak vents, fan noise at higher speeds, musty smell
  • Visible debris on pleats when removed
