Methods to quickly remove odors from a new Verano include: 1. Place fruits with strong adsorption capabilities like pomelo peel, pineapple, and lemon; 2. Use white vinegar inside the car for its sterilizing and cleaning properties; 3. Utilize activated charcoal to eliminate odors; 4. Remove protective films inside the car; 5. Open windows for ventilation; 6. Spray an appropriate amount of air freshener. Causes of car odors: 1. Overheated wires or short circuits in electrical components; 2. Dirty air conditioning filters or air ducts; 3. Malfunctioning tires or rubber belts, emitting a burnt rubber smell; 4. Damaged fuel tank or leaks in the fuel supply system; 5. Leakage or shortage of electrolyte; 6. Burnt clutch plates or failure to release the handbrake.

I just bought a new car, also from the Verano series, and the new car smell is quite strong. My most common method is to drive with all the windows open for about half an hour, which works the fastest. If convenient, find a sunny day to park the car in the sun with all doors and windows open for a few hours to accelerate the volatilization of those chemical odors. Placing some activated charcoal bags in the car is quite effective for absorbing odors—I usually buy several large packs from Taobao and place them in all corners. Don’t rush to use air fresheners to mask the smell; you need to eliminate the source of pollution first, like the materials released by the seats, otherwise it’s bad for breathing. In the long term, regularly cleaning the interior with a damp cloth can also reduce odor residue. After about a week of persistence, the smell will noticeably diminish.

Don't underestimate the odor in new cars—it may contain formaldehyde, which is harmful to health. I use natural methods: before driving out in the morning, I leave the windows slightly open for an hour to let airflow in and disperse the smell. Placing fresh orange peels or coffee grounds in the car can help absorb gases, which is quite eco-friendly. On sunny days, I park the car in an open area with the sunroof open to let the heat speed up odor evaporation. Also, avoid using strong perfumes. Try these safe deodorizing methods first to prevent respiratory harm. After doing this for two weeks, the smell in my car has faded significantly, and it’s both cost-effective and hassle-free.

To quickly eliminate new car odor, first open all doors and windows for ventilation and take a high-speed drive to let strong winds disperse the smell quickly. Place activated charcoal or bamboo charcoal bags in the car—buy several packs and spread them under the seats for strong absorption, which works the same day. Then use a formaldehyde removal spray on the interior surfaces; just buy a reputable brand online, don’t skimp and damage the seats. With these simple steps, the odor will lessen in a day or two, saving time.

That new car smell is really annoying, but I tackled it with all-natural methods: regularly driving with ventilation, especially opening windows when the air is humid after rain, works well. Placing pomelo peels or small potted green plants in the car helps absorb formaldehyde—safe and eco-friendly. You can also wipe car seats and interiors with water and baking soda to neutralize odor sources. Remember, avoid chemical cleaners that might worsen the smell. Ventilation is key, and the odor will naturally fade over time.
