Cinnamon Life, South Asia’s first integrated resort, has taken a progressive step towards redefining luxury hospitality by introducing six Denza D9s, a luxury New Energy Vehicle (NEV), into its operations. The official handover was held at Cinnamon Life and marked the beginning of a strategic partnership between two forward-thinking brands under the John Keells Group umbrella.

This collaboration reflects a shared vision between Cinnamon Life and John Keells CG Auto, the authorised distributor for Denza D9s in Sri Lanka, and represents a significant milestone in the convergence of sustainable mobility and high-end tourism. As demand for responsible travel grows, Cinnamon Life continues to lead the sector with experiences that combine world-class service and environmental stewardship.

The Denza D9, BYD Global’s’s flagship luxury NEV, sets a new standard for eco-conscious sophistication. Designed for comfort and performance, the DENZA D9s are tailored for discerning travellers who expect both elegance and environmental accountability.

“This strategic partnership with John Keells CG Auto is a reflection of our commitment to redefine the travel experience in Sri Lanka,” said Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams CEO and General Manager Sanjiv Hulugalle. “As Colombo emerges as a global destination for high-end tourism, we are proud to introduce sustainable luxury at scale, providing our guests with unparalleled service through our new fleet of Denza D9s.”

With this rollout, John Keells CG Auto has officially introduced the Denza brand to Sri Lanka’s mobility landscape. This first fleet deployment signals an important step in expanding green mobility into sectors like tourism, where the potential for impact is significant.

“We are proud to bring the Denza D9 to Sri Lanka as we expand into the luxury travel segment,” said John Keells CG Auto General Manager Charith Panditharathne. “This marks a significant step in our mission to drive a green mobility revolution that contributes to a cleaner, more empowered nation. The partnership with Cinnamon Life is a model for how luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand.”

As Cinnamon Life leads the charge in eco-conscious hospitality, the introduction of the Denza D9 marks the beginning of a new era in sustainable travel. This collaboration demonstrates how the convergence of responsible tourism and cutting-edge green mobility can deliver an elevated guest experience, setting a new benchmark for luxury travel in Sri Lanka.
