On February 1, Deep Blue Autos CEO Deng Chenghao revealed on Weibo that since the S09 made its appearance during the Spring Festival Gala, "many friends have been looking for me to inquire about the S09's configuration and pricing. Yesterday, at my hometown, I unintentionally spent half an afternoon and garnered six or seven high-intention customers." Deng Chenghao stated that the configuration is currently locked in, but the pricing has indeed not been determined. It is understood that at the end of last year, the Deep Blue S09 model was embroiled in a plagiarism controversy, with its design being questioned for copying the Li Xiang L9. At that time, Deep Blue Autos officially denied the allegations, stating that the vehicle is indeed in the same class as the Li Xiang L9 and the Wanjie M9, but has a family design language that has won the Red Dot Award for product design.
