2011 Lexus HS 250h Air Filter in Hingham, MA

The engine air filter on a 2011 Lexus HS 250h sits in a rectangular airbox within the engine bay, while the cabin filter is typically behind the glove box.

This front-wheel-drive hybrid uses an inline 4-cylinder 2.4L engine, and the airbox is easily visible when you open the hood. The cabin filter location allows quick access for HVAC airflow maintenance. If you prefer a professional inspection in Hingham, you can schedule service and our team will confirm placement, condition, and fitment.
