Cadillac No.1 on Most-Seen Auto Ads Chart

In its first-place spot for the week of April 15, Cadillac encourages people to move up to next-gen connectivity and advanced safety with the XT5, XT4 and Escalade models.

Cadillac tops iSpot.tv’s latest ranking of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads gathering the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

In its first-place spot for the week of April 15, Cadillac encourages people to move up to next-gen connectivity and advanced safety with the XT5, XT4 and Escalade models. And for a limited time, the announcer notes, qualified customers can get special lease opportunities on the ’19 XT4.

A whimsical ad for the ’19 Mazda3 Hatchback takes second place, while Chevrolet shows up at both No.3 and No.4 on the chart. The third-place commercial features real Chevy owners explaining why they switched from other auto brands, while the fourth-place ad promotes discounts on the ’19 Silverado during the company’s Truck Month.

Subaru closes out the rankings with a spot for the ’19 Ascent that focuses on its three rows of seating. This ad has the best iSpot Attention Index (153) in the ranking, getting 53% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).
