This filter effectively captures airborne contaminants such as pollen, dust, soot, and other particulates, ensuring a cleaner and healthier cabin environment for occupants. Designed to meet the demands of both normal and severe driving conditions, the WIX 49353 filter is a reliable choice for fleet operators seeking to maintain optimal air quality in their vehicles. Constructed with high-quality particulate media, the WIX 49353 filter offers superior filtration efficiency. Its dimensions—9.409 inches in length, 8.268 inches in width, and 0.669 inches in height—are tailored to fit seamlessly into the specified Kia models, facilitating straightforward installation and maintenance. The closed inner diameter top design ensures a secure fit, preventing air bypass and maximizing filtration performance. A notable feature of the WIX 49353 filter is its incorporation of Microban antimicrobial technology.

This antimicrobial enhancement contributes to a fresher and more hygienic cabin atmosphere, which is particularly beneficial for fleet vehicles operating in diverse environments. For fleet operations, maintaining clean cabin air is essential not only for driver and passenger comfort but also for the longevity of HVAC system components. The WIX 49353 filter is recommended for adherence to the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) filter change intervals, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. By integrating this filter into your maintenance schedule, fleet managers can uphold high standards of air quality, contributing to the overall well-being of drivers and passengers and supporting the efficient operation of the vehicle's HVAC system.
