Parts for your 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse cross-Cabin filter

2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Cabin Filter

Technical sources indicate the 2025 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is fitted with a cabin air filter as standard. The 2025 Owner’s Manual (air conditioning filter/maintenance section), Mitsubishi Motors parts catalogues for Eclipse Cross (GK series), and common aftermarket catalogues from well-known filter brands all list a serviceable cabin microfilter for 2018–2025 Eclipse Cross models. It’s typically located behind the glovebox in an easily accessible cartridge.

In this model, the cabin filter plays a simple but important role: it cleans the air coming through the HVAC system before it reaches the cabin. That means it traps dust, pollen, road grime, and fine particles, helping passengers breathe easier, easing hay fever triggers, and keeping the interior fresher. It also shields the evaporator core and blower from debris, which helps the air-con work efficiently and can reduce fogging and musty odours.

For Aussie and Kiwi driving, the sweet spot is to have the filter checked at every scheduled service and replaced roughly every 12 months or 15,000–30,000 km, depending on conditions. Short urban trips, bushfire smoke, coastal salt air, gravel roads, or farm tracks can load the filter quicker, so earlier replacement makes sense. Activated carbon versions help with odours and fumes, higher-grade media can catch finer particulates if air quality is a priority.

Signs the Eclipse Cross cabin filter is due include:

• Weaker airflow even with the fan on higher speeds
• Persistent musty smell when the A/C starts up
• Windows fogging more than usual
• Fan sounding louder or whistly as it works harder

Most owners can swap the filter themselves in a few minutes by lowering the glovebox and sliding out the filter tray. The main thing is to note the airflow direction arrow and seat the new filter evenly without crushing the pleats. If that’s not your thing, any Mitsubishi dealer or trusted mechanic will handle it as part of routine servicing. Keeping this small part fresh helps the 2025 Eclipse Cross stay comfy, efficient, and pleasant to live with year-round.

Does the 2025 Eclipse Cross have a cabin filter and where is it?

Yes. It uses a serviceable cabin microfilter located behind the glovebox in the HVAC intake. It’s designed for quick access so it can be inspected and replaced during regular servicing without pulling the dash apart.

How often should the cabin filter be replaced in Australia or New Zealand?

Check it at every scheduled service and plan to replace it about every 12 months or 15,000–30,000 km. If you drive in dusty areas, heavy traffic, or through smoke or pollen season, replace it sooner for better airflow and air quality.

Can owners change the cabin filter themselves?

Absolutely. Lower the glovebox, release the filter cover, slide out the old filter, and install the new one with the airflow arrow the right way up. It’s a quick, no-special-tools job, otherwise, your dealer or mechanic will sort it during a service.
