Where is the engine air filter located on a 2019 Lexus NX 300h?
The 2019 Lexus NX 300h engine air filter sits in the engine bay inside the airbox on the passenger-side front corner.
This sealed housing feeds the 2.5L inline-4 hybrid powertrain fresh intake air. Access typically involves releasing a few clips and lifting the airbox lid to reveal the rectangular panel filter. During service in Grapevine, our technicians also inspect the intake ducting for debris and ensure the seal seats properly to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the element.
