Since yours is a new car, I don't have any idea. Older cars can get mold and mildew buildup in the ducts and evaporator housing that can cause a stink. Have your dealer check the evaporator water drain for restrictions.
If your dealer cannot find a cause, try spraying Fabreze or a generic non-scented "odor eliminator spray" into the ductwork while the engine and vent fan are running. Cycle the controls through all modes so the spray can reach all the ductwork. The spray has a sort of inert chemical smell that will fade away to no smell in a week or two. It definitely will kill the odor.
But if some condition exists that is generating that bad smell (like an obstructed drain line), it will return eventually.
Good luck, and please post a message if you discover the cause.
