Summer Sales Top Most-Seen Auto Ads Chart Again

Summertime sales hold the top three spots in iSpot.tv’s ranking of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads collecting the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

First place for the week of May 27 goes to Nissan’s Summer of SUVs Sales Event spot, which promotes special savings on ’19 Rogue and Kicks models. In the No.2 commercial, Chevrolet suggests you start your summer off right by buying a new Chevy, while Toyota’s third-place ad shows how its models help enable your favorite warm-weather activities.

GMC takes fourth place with an ad suggesting the Sierra’s six-function MultiPro Tailgate will literally make jaws drop. Customers can get interest-free financing on most ’19 Sierra and Canyon models during GMC Truck Month.

At No.5, Infiniti says “luxury should be lived in” in its ad showing how the ’19 QX50 suits all sorts of trips and destinations.
