A BMW commercial featuring fashion model Gigi Hadid claims the No.1 position in the weekly Most Engaging Auto Ads rankings, powered for WardsAuto by iSpot.tv.

Audi, Nissan and Mazda all maintain their places in the chart for the second week in a row, with Audi’s promotional tie-in ad for “Captain America: Civil War” at No. 2, Nissan’s spot showcasing collision-avoidance technology at No. 3 and Mazda’s “Carried Away” ad narrated by Aaron Paul at No.4.

Honda takes fifth place with a commercial about a square world where skateboarding is impossible and traffic is a nightmare unless you have a ʼ16 Civic Coupe. Even the ad’s format follows the theme: It begins playback as a square but transforms into widescreen as Honda bends the rules in this alternate reality.
