The engine air filter on the 2020 Ram Promaster City is inside a rectangular housing in the engine bay near the front passenger side of the 2.4L inline‑4 intake.
On the Promaster City the 2.4L inline‑4 has the intake and filter housing accessible from the top of the engine compartment. The housing uses a clip or screw fastener for easy access on models without heavy trim panels. Technicians inspect the housing seal and intake boot for tears when replacing the element.

Where is the cabin air filter located on a 2020 Ram Promaster City?
The cabin air filter on the 2020 Ram Promaster City is typically located behind the glove box inside the passenger compartment.
Access usually requires lowering or removing the glove box liner to reach the filter tray. Because the cabin filter handles pollen and dust from Albuquerque’s dry, dusty conditions, technicians verify the seal and frame during replacement to prevent unfiltered air bypassing the element.

What's the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter on a 2020 Ram Promaster City?
The engine air filter protects the 2.4L engine’s intake for combustion, while the cabin air filter protects passengers and the HVAC system from dust, pollen, and particulates.
The engine filter prevents dirt from entering the combustion chamber, supporting the Promaster City’s 178 hp output and fuel efficiency. The cabin filter stops airborne irritants from entering the passenger compartment and helps maintain HVAC airflow and odor control.
- Engine filter: blocks debris from the intake to protect engine components.
- Cabin filter: filters pollen, dust, and particulates for passenger comfort.
- Both filters should be inspected; replacement addresses performance and air quality.
What are the signs of a clogged air filter on a 2020 Ram Promaster City?
Common signs include reduced engine responsiveness, a drop in fuel economy, rough idle, weak HVAC airflow, or a musty odor in the cabin.
Because the Promaster City operates in Albuquerque’s dusty environment, filters can become restricted more quickly. Technicians will measure airflow and inspect filter media, intake ducting, and the HVAC evaporator area when these symptoms appear.
- Engine: reduced power, sluggish acceleration, or lower MPG.
- Cabin: weak HVAC airflow, unusual odors, or increased dust inside the vehicle.
- Service checks include the intake housing and visual MAF sensor inspection.
