Product Description

The K&N 33-5071 is a direct-fit high-flow replacement air filter engineered for the Volkswagen Atlas (2018-2026) and Atlas Cross Sport (2020-2026) across both the 2.0L Turbocharged four-cylinder and 3.6L VR6 engine configurations. Both models share the same MQB platform airbox architecture, making this a single-filter solution for the entire Atlas lineup in both FWD and 4MOTION AWD drivetrains. It replaces the factory paper element with a layered oiled cotton gauze design that flows significantly more air, supporting improved throttle response and engine efficiency.

Installation is a straightforward drop-in swap into the existing factory airbox with no cutting, drilling, or adapters required. Unlike disposable filters, the 33-5071 is fully washable and reusable using K&N's Recharger cleaning kit, making it a permanent, cost-effective upgrade backed by K&N's 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty. Note that the 3.6L VR6 engine was discontinued after 2023 - all 2024 and newer Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport models use the 2.0L Turbo exclusively.
