2014 Honda Insight Air Filter in Burlington, MA

It sits in the engine bay inside the sealed airbox ahead of the engine.

The 2014 Honda Insight’s engine air filter is housed in a rectangular airbox with clips or screws that secure the lid. Once opened, the pleated filter lifts straight out for inspection or replacement. Keeping this filter clean helps the 1.3L inline-4 hybrid engine maintain efficient airflow and fuel economy in Burlington traffic. If you prefer professional service, you can schedule service and we’ll install an OEM-spec filter and check the intake path.

• Engine-bay airbox ahead of the engine; top cover lifts off for access
• Designed for the 1.3L inline-4 hybrid intake system

It's located behind the glove box in the HVAC intake tray.

On the 2014 Honda Insight, lower the glove box by releasing the side stops to reveal the rectangular access door.

The engine filter sits in the airbox and screens incoming air before combustion, helping preserve performance and fuel economy. The cabin filter is in the HVAC intake behind the glove box, trapping dust and allergens to improve in‑car air quality. During a visit to Herb Chambers Honda of Burlington, both filters can be inspected together for a complete checkup.
