I changed the cabin air filter on my 2016 Volt before I sold it. Wanted to do the same for my new 2018 Volt so I ordered a filter without checking in the glove box. Lo and behold: No rubber mat, no access panel, no slot to put the new filter into. Can you give me a clue where or how to go looking to change the cabin air filter? jack

The 2018 should be the same as the 2016 was.

IMHO, the cabin air filter is a marketing scam. I breath the outside air unfiltered all the time. Why do I need a filter when I'm in the car?

Everything seems to need expensive filters these days. My old GE refrigerator ran for 20 years without a filter and it was fine. The new Whirlpool has a $50 water filter that they say needs replacing every 6 months. What?? Back in the day I used to buy air filters for my central A/C in the house for 99 cents. Now the cheap ones are 8 bucks. My '96 Nissan had no cabin filter and it was fine. The newer cars all require cabin filters that the dealer wants to charge $80 to replace!
