Nissan’s No.1 ad highlights ProPILOT driver-assist technology.
Nissan takes first place in iSpot.tv’s ranking of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads that have collected the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.
Topping the list for the week of April 22 is a spot suggesting Nissan doesn’t just make cars, it also makes “technology that moves people,” such as the ProPILOT assist feature (to help drivers stay in their lane) available in the ’19 Rogue. Special financing for the model is available right now.
Chevrolet is back with two enduring ads in second and third place that have been on and off the chart for weeks. The No.2 commercial features real Chevy owners who have switched from other auto brands, while the spot in third place showcases how people from all walks of life use the Silverado truck.
Fourth place goes to Cadillac’s ad promoting the XT5, XT4 and Escalade models. During the Move Up Sales Event, the announcer notes, special lease offers are available for the ’19 XT4.
Jaws drop when people see the six-function MultiPro Tailgate in GMC’s fifth-place spot for the Sierra. Set to the tune of Steam’s “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye,” this commercial has the best iSpot Attention Index (142) in the ranking, getting 42% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
