How often should the air filter be changed in a Kia Soul?

I recently purchased a Kia Soul and was wondering how often the air filter should be changed to maintain optimal performance. Is there a specific mileage or time interval that should be followed? Thanks in advance!

The recommended frequency for air filter changes in a Kia Soul is every 15,000 miles or every year, whichever comes first.

I suggest checking and replacing the air filter every 6 months if you frequently drive in dusty or rural areas.

Some Kia dealerships offer free air filter replacements as part of routine maintenance, so be sure to ask about that option.
