Jeep Enters 2021 With Most-Seen Auto Ad

Jeep claims the top spot in iSpot.tv’s ranking of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads that have generated the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

The top ad for the week of Dec. 28 proclaims Jeep is “more than a legendary SUV brand – it’s a community.” In the second-place spot, a family just returning home from a holiday vacation rushes back out the door to a Toyota dealership to take advantage of special deals on select Camry models.

At No.3: Kia’s commercial promoting a new lineup of vehicles that are well-equipped for blustery winter conditions. Fourth place goes to Hyundai’s ad showcasing the ’21 Santa Fe’s HTRAC All-Wheel Drive, which helps families go off-road whenever the need strikes – for example, when a dad suddenly craves artisanal beef jerky.

Subaru rounds out the ranking with a spot that strikes a positive note, illustrating how the automaker and its dealers support charities including ASPCA, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Meals on Wheels and the National Parks Foundation through the Subaru Share the Love Event.
