Where is the engine air intake located?

[Virgil]

The location of the engine air intake varies depending on the vehicle model. Some are positioned at the front of the engine, while others are at the rear. You can trace it by following the air filter. Although intake designs differ, their function remains the same: to supply fresh air to the engine and provide ventilation for cooling heat sources such as the air conditioning condenser, radiator, and oil cooler. Here's more information about air intakes: 1. Whether an intake is designed as a single or dual-layer structure primarily depends on visual styling requirements, as the front grille (i.e., the air intake) at the vehicle's visual focal point best represents brand characteristics; 2. Some intakes are positioned on the hood, which is common practice for turbocharged engine models to cool the intercooler located atop the engine, hence the hood opening.
