The K&N VF2061 is a washable, reusable replacement cabin air filter for the 2009–2016 Hyundai Genesis sedan. It is sized to fit the factory glove-box housing, and the manufacturer describes its non-woven synthetic media as a direct replacement for the stock filter. Its polyurethane frame measures 10.031 x 8.875 x 1.156 inches. Because it can be cleaned and reinstalled, it suits owners who want a filter that lasts multiple service intervals rather than a disposable paper element.
Over the life of the car, a reusable K&N cabin filter can cost less than repeatedly buying disposable filters, and the manufacturer backs it with a limited warranty. Owners on user forums say rinsing it with water is all the cleaning it needs, since K&N's cabin filter is not oil-treated like its engine filters. They also report mixed results on how noticeable the change in cabin air is, so set expectations accordingly. Searching for a 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Genesis sedan 3.8 V6 cabin air filter, a VF2061 glove box filter, or a washable Genesis cabin filter will bring up this exact application, so confirm your engine and model year before ordering.
The manufacturer's Genesis sedan listing confirms the 3.8L V6 gasoline application for 2009–2016. Other engine applications were not confirmed on the manufacturer's pages reviewed, so check the fitment guide or your VIN with K&N before ordering.
The manufacturer describes this filter as washable and reusable. Owners on user forums report rinsing it with water and reinstalling it, and note that the cabin filter does not use oil the way K&N's engine filters do.
The manufacturer's G70 page lists the VF2061 for 2021–2023 G70 applications. This listing, however, is for the 2009–2016 Genesis sedan, so confirm your model year with the manufacturer before treating the two as interchangeable.
This is a beginner-level job. The manufacturer rates the DIY level as easy, lists a screwdriver as the typical tool, and estimates 10–20 minutes. Access is through the glove box: release its side stops or clips, let the door drop, and slide the old filter out and the new one in. Owners on user forums suggest closing the glove box partway before releasing the clips so there is room for your hand, and warn that the damper cylinder on the driver's side may need to be disconnected so the door does not drop unexpectedly. Check the filter's airflow arrow or orientation against the old filter before reinstalling.
