Engine Air Filter vs Cabin Air Filter

The difference between the engine air filter and the cabin air filter in your 2010 Porsche Panamera 4S is fundamental to both performance and comfort. The engine air filter protects the V8 4.8L intake from particulate contamination—preserving horsepower (400 hp at 6500 rpm), torque, and fuel economy—while the cabin air filter ensures the HVAC system delivers clean, odor-free air to passengers. At Porsche Littleton in Littleton, CO, our factory-trained technicians evaluate both systems during routine service to deliver a complete picture of vehicle health. Keeping both filters in top condition reduces long-term wear on engine components, prevents clogged sensors, and improves in-cabin air quality for occupants with allergies or sensitivities. We use OEM filters matched to Porsche specifications and document every replacement for resale and warranty records. Ready to protect performance and comfort?
