2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Keswick Green

I've had a few but never one that actually made my eyes and the inside of my nose sting. Was pretty nasty for a few miles but been fine since. https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

Mine stopped doing it after about 800 miles.

I had it especially driving offroad the first 1000km or so. I think it's normal as I had it with most new cars. I remember my old Defender MY2012 stank like a plastics factory from the 1950's the first weeks.

lt was a bit disconcerting because it smelled just like a failing electric motor or transformer.

But as l said, the smell stopped after about 800 miles and it's been gone since.
My guess it was the DPF
