The 2016 Toyota Highlander-Hybrid’s engine air filter sits in a plastic housing designed to open from the top for inspection and replacement.

On the 2016 Toyota Highlander-Hybrid, lower the glove box to access a rectangular cover that retains the cabin air filter.

Keeping each clean helps maintain throttle response and fuel economy (engine) and preserves interior air quality and HVAC performance (cabin). If you’re in the greater Atlanta area, we can inspect both during the same visit and document the condition for your records.
