Default 2015 XJL 5.0 Supercharged Smell under Acceleration

been noticing a strange smell from the vents every time I accelerate a bit more than normal and when going uphill. Is this normal for jaguar land rover vehicles? Any info on this issue? Thanks

Well just a guess?

But when you floor the gas pedal the A/C compressor is switched off to reduce that drag on the engine. So you should feel a bit of an effect with what's coming out of the vents.

Do you get any smell when starting the car? Pretty common to have some smells because of the moisture from the A/C.
