RAV4 in Spotlight on Most-Seen Auto Ads Chart

Toyota’s RAV4 is featured on two of iSpot.tv’s latest ranking of the five most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads collecting the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

In first place for the week of Feb. 11 is a Toyota spot showing a group of friends going from restaurant to restaurant in the ’19 RAV4, intent on challenging their taste buds. The RAV4 also appears in the fourth-place finisher, a whimsical ad about a couple making the most of their time together.

Chevrolet’s No. 2 spot presents the ’19 Silverado, which the company says is the strongest and most-advanced version of the pickup ever, with a bigger cab and more cargo volume.

Mistaken identities is the theme of the third-place ad from Buick, which highlights its new lineup that includes the Encore and Envision.

Lincoln (and actor Matthew McConaughey) are ranked once again, this time at No. 5. The ad highlights the ’19 Nautilus’s Co-Pilot360 technology featuring a lane-keeping system.
