It's in the engine bay inside a sealed air box ahead of the engine on the 2021 Honda Accord-Hybrid.

Open the hood and look for the rectangular air box with clips and an intake snorkel; the filter sits inside that housing. This placement protects the hybrid’s gasoline engine by feeding it clean air.

It's located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake on the 2021 Honda Accord-Hybrid.

Lower the glove box by releasing the side stop, then remove the cabin filter access panel to slide the filter out. This spot lets the filter trap dust and pollen before air reaches the vents.
