In August, Yuan Qicong posted a video titled "enjoy S9, a little disappointed" on the social platform. In the video, Yuan Qicong mainly made a high-speed slope test for the Hengjie S9. After the test, he made the remark that the Hangjie S9 vehicle "can't keep driving in a straight line and the whole vehicle deviated to one side" after the test, which attracted a large number of netizens' attention.

Before the wheel takes off, the opening of the switch is 28.8%, the steering wheel rotates 23 degrees to the right, and a co-directional torque of 1.96nm is detected; then, the steering wheel turns to the left and returns to the right.
