I had it. On my CX3.

When I stopped the car at home after 1st drive home it had smoke out of sides of hood.

Turns out the factory had been over enthisiastic with the engine spray they put on before it goes on the ship.

Dealer said it was a wax like covering that should burn off in minutes but mine was a lot thicker.

Was all gone in a day or so.

Some normal new car smells beyond that as it all settles in and any fluids burn off etc.
