Nissan Again No.1 on Most-Seen Auto Ads Chart

For a second straight week, Nissan tops iSpot.tv’s rankings of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads with the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

The top-ranked ad for the week of April 29 is Nissan’s commercial for the ’19 Rogue focusing on the ProPILOT Assist feature that helps keep drivers centered in their lane.

Second place goes to Toyota with an ad proclaiming summer is here – and its models can help with favorite warm-weather activities such as biking, “glamping,” attending music festivals and more. Right now, customers can get special lease deals on select models, the announcer notes.

Mazda’s third-place spot is a whimsical ode to the ’19 Mazda3 Hatchback set to Haley Reinhart's cover of “Dreams” by The Cranberries. This ad has the best iSpot Attention Index (121) in the ranking, getting 21% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).

Kia pumps up the energy with its No.4 commercial promoting the “new species of soul” represented by the ’20 GT-Line Turbo, X-Line and EX Designer models, while GMC rounds out the ranking with a spot for the ’19 Sierra truck and its six-function MultiPro Tailgate.
