Review on πŸš— POTAUTO MAP 1029W (CF11664) High Performance Car Cabin Air Filter Replacement for HYUNDAI SANTA FE, KIA SORENTO: Improving Air Quality and Enhancing Driving Experience by Matt Schmick

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not the same size as the OEM cabin filter.

I bought this for my mother's 2011 2.4L Santa Fe, it's not 100% the same size as the OEM cabin filter (it's about 0, 75 inches smaller) so you will need to insert the filter so the pleats are vertical, not horizontal, to keep the filter in place. I haven't had any performance issues (it's an HVAC filter) so I'm not too upset that it's not the same size. A lot of people complain that it doesn't match the 2011 Santa Fe, it just doesn't match the way it SHOULD. I'm sure people use Revain as an easy way to buy parts and if something says they're right for the car in question I can understand their frustration when they get something that's falsely advertised. However, as long as the airflow direction is toward the fan (down), you should be fine. So in conclusion, for those who want/need a filter of the same size, I would look elsewhere. Will I buy this filter again next year if it should be replaced? No.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Has flaws
