Engine air filters for the 2019 CR-V typically cost around $15 to $30 for aftermarket parts, while cabin air filters range from about $15 to $50, with higher prices for charcoal or premium designs.
What you’re buying: engine vs cabin filters
The CR-V uses two kinds of air filters: an engine air filter that cleans the air going into the engine and a cabin air filter that cleans the air you breathe inside the vehicle. Prices and availability vary by retailer, and costs can be lower if you buy in bundles or during promotions.
Engine air filter
The engine air filter prevents dust and debris from entering the intake, helping performance and fuel efficiency. Replacement intervals depend on driving conditions but are commonly recommended every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Prices range by brand and quality.
Below are common options you’ll find when shopping for a CR-V engine air filter. Prices vary by retailer and region, but the ranges give a sense of what to expect.
- OEM Honda engine air filter — typically around $20 to $40.
- Aftermarket standard-brand engine air filter (brands like Bosch, Mann, Denso, ACDelco) — roughly $10 to $25.
- Premium or high-flow performance filters (K&N, AEM, etc.) — about $25 to $60.
In practice, most CR-V owners choose a standard aftermarket filter for a balance of price and filtration. OEM parts are more expensive and are chosen for exact fit and warranty considerations.
Cabin air filter
The cabin air filter cleans air entering the passenger compartment and can include activated charcoal to reduce odors and pollutants. Replacement intervals tend to be shorter in dusty or urban environments, commonly every 15,000 to 25,000 miles. Prices vary widely, especially for charcoal versions.
Below are common options you’ll find when shopping for a CR-V cabin air filter. Prices vary by retailer and region, but the ranges give a sense of what to expect.
- OEM cabin air filter — typically around $15 to $40.
- Aftermarket non-charcoal cabin filter — roughly $10 to $25.
- Charcoal or premium cabin filters — about $20 to $50.
Ultimately, charcoal or premium cabin filters offer better odor control and filtration at a higher price, while basic filters provide essential cleaning at a lower cost.
Where to buy and how to shop
Shopping options include dealership parts counters, big auto parts chains, and online retailers. Availability and price can shift with promotions, stock, and region.
Before listing options, note you may encounter core charges, shipping costs, or bulk discounts when buying online. Always verify compatibility with your exact CR-V year and trim.
- Honda dealership or official parts store — typically the most reliable fit and fastest access to OEM parts, often with higher prices.
- Auto parts chains (AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, O'Reilly) — wide selection, frequent promotions, and in-store pickup.
- Online retailers and marketplaces (Amazon, RockAuto, manufacturer websites) — often the best prices and broadest stock, with shipping times that vary.
When possible, compare part numbers and confirm the filter’s size and fit for your vehicle using your VIN or owner's manual.
Summary
For a 2019 Honda CR-V, you’ll typically spend from about $15 to $30 for an engine air filter and $15 to $50 for a cabin air filter, depending on whether you choose OEM, aftermarket, charcoal, or premium options. Shop around at dealership counters, auto parts stores, and online retailers to balance price, fit, and filtration needs. Regular replacement—roughly every 15,000 to 30,000 miles for the engine filter and 15,000 to 25,000 miles for the cabin filter—helps maintain performance and air quality.
