Passenger diesel engines are effectively being phased out of South Korea’s passenger-vehicle market as Kia halts Sorento diesel production mid-month, leaving no diesel models in Hyundai Motor and Kia’s passenger and RV lineups. Remaining diesel inventory will be sold until depleted. Diesel’s share of registrations fell from 30.8% in 2020 to 2.4% through July, while hybrids surged, with Sorento sales this year at 82.5% hybrids and 5.0% diesel; Kia cited declining sales and better profitability from hybrids.

ABOUT

What is Fimmer?

Most feeds treat all company headlines the same. An executive interview, an office closure, stock analysis, and a data breach can sit side by side with no sense of scale. Fimmer ranks coverage by what matters, so important events stand out and signals are prioritised over noise. We cluster related company news and score each story using a range of metrics, so you see the most crucial stories first.

SCORING

What do the scores mean?

Significance (0–10) measures the scale of the real-world impact. Sentiment and ESG (−10 to +10) indicate the tone of the coverage and whether the change relates to environmental, social, or governance factors. Together, these scores help distinguish meaningful developments from routine company news. More information about our scoring methodology can be found on our About page.
