Second place goes to Lincoln’s enduring spot for the new ’19 Nautilus starring Matthew McConaughey. The model features Co-Pilot360 technology, which has a lane-keeping system.
In the No.3 ad from Chevrolet, real people (not actors) find themselves grateful to be safe inside the ’19 Equinox when three alligators surround the vehicle because it has a HD Surround Vision Camera, giving drivers a bird’s-eye view of the dangers that may surface around them.
Excerpts from E.E. Cummings’ “A Poet’s Advice” are heard in Volvo’s fourth-place commercial for the ’19 S60. This spot also has the best iSpot Attention Index (147) in the ranking, getting 47% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
Buick rounds out the ranking with an ad proclaiming its new lineup, which includes the Encore and Envision, is full of surprises. It says special lease deals are available to qualified customers.
