Lexus Has Two of Five Most-Seen Auto Ads

Lexus claims first and third place in iSpot.tv’s latest ranking of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads that have generated the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

While the Lexus ads are quite similar, promoting the December to Remember Sales Event, the first-place spot highlights deals on select models including the ’21 RX 350 while the No. 3 commercial focuses on the ’21 GX 460.

In the second-place spot for the week of Nov. 23, Mazda celebrates seizing the moment, as two intrepid siblings use a cooler to transport snow from the mountains to the valley, just to build a snowman and bring joy to their parents. Right now, customers can get 0.9% APR for up to 60 months and no payments for 90 days on select models.

Nissan’s fourth-place commercial demonstrates the versatility of the ’21 Rogue, with various drive modes for all types of weather and locations. (But even with myriad options for adventure, sometimes a family just wants to see a drive-in movie.)

Rounding out the ranking is Chevrolet’s enduring ad featuring film footage of its SUVs in action through the decades. The brand declares it’s been carrying many things since 1935, “but nothing more important than family.”
