Slight burning smell in trunk

I would get it checked out. Burning smell is not normal.

 

The only burnt type of smell that could be considered normal has been reported coming from under the hood and happens only when the engine starts for the first couple of times. This is caused by the engine heating up for the first time and burning off any manufacturing or lubrication coatings left on surfaces near any part of the hot drive train.
We haven’t had any reports of burnt smells coming from the trunk. If it’s really from the trunk and not the tailpipe/muffler, then I agree with @The Gadgeteer and take it in.
Better safe than sorry.

 

I agree with all the above. But if nothing comes of this, and the smell goes away on its own after (or before) you have it checked out, then I wonder if it’s just the exhaust outlet and surroundings going through its first few cycles of heating. I was surprised to see, when under the car to put on a hitch, that the end of the exhaust is right under the trunk, a decent distance back from the end of the car (at least by my standards, having only had cars where tailpipes stick out).

Because you're using km and celsius, I'm going to guess you're Canadian, eh?

If so, the car may just be now getting to operate at hot temperatures for the first time and has finally reached the "burning off" smells of the new car phase. If you're smelling this while operation only in EV mode, then something is probably amiss.
