A spot for Subaru’s Ascent CUV tops iSpot.tv’s ranking of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads that have racked up the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.
In its first-place ad for the week of Aug. 12, Subaru reminds us that while it’s easy for each of us to shrink into our own little universe, there’s a big and beautiful world out there – and with three rows of seating, the Ascent can help families see it.
This ad has the best iSpot Attention Index (141) in the ranking, getting 41% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
At No.2, Toyota spokespeople harmonize in a duet explaining that during the National Clearance Event, special leasing deals are available for the ’19 RAV4 LE.
The six-function MultiPro Tailgate of the ’19 GMC Sierra makes jaws drop in the third-place spot, while Hyundai’s No. 4 commercial promotes special deals on the ’19 Kona during its Epic Summer Clearance.
Another summer sale rounds out the ranking, this time from Kia. Right now, zero-percent financing is available on multiple ’19 models, which all come with a 10-year, 100,000-mile (161,000-km) warranty.
