This air box is designed for quick access and seals to keep unfiltered air out of the Prius Plug-In Hybrid’s intake tract. A secure lid and clips or screws hold the filter in place.

Most Toyota hatchbacks use a removable access panel behind the glove box to reach the cabin filter. This filter screens dust, pollen, and debris before air enters the cabin, which matters during Tampa’s peak pollen and rainy seasons. If you prefer, we can replace it during a same-visit engine and cabin filter service.
