China's distaste for chemical smells comes from a society that has grown paranoid about its perennial air pollution, a local parts manufacturer was quoted by Reuters as saying.
Don Yu, China general manager at CGT Automotive, which supplies car interior material to many large makers, said: "In China, people open the car and sit inside. If the smell isn't good enough, they think it will jeopardise their health."
But while the Chinese hate the new car smell, plenty of other people love it.
Ford Spain figured out how to bottle that new odour for used cars, to persuade people to buy them.
And products like the Ozium air sanitizer, and the Chemical Guys' New Car Smell promise to do what it says on the tin.
