Kia spreads word of Summer Sticker Sales Event.

Kia Leads Most-Seen Auto Ads Chart

The first-place Kia spot also has the best iSpot Attention Index in the ranking, getting 23% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad.

Kia’s spot touting its Summer Sticker Sales Event tops iSpot.tv’s latest ranking of the most-viewed automotive commercials – the ads grabbing the highest number of impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

The first-place Kia spot for the week of June 10 promotes special financing and bonus cash on select ’19 models. This commercial also has the best iSpot Attention Index (123) in the ranking, getting 23% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).

In its second-place spot for the ’19 QX50, Infiniti proclaims “luxury should be lived in,” while in the No.3 ad Chevrolet literally shines a spotlight on the ’19 Silverado – a spotlight powered by a 120V outlet in the truck bed.

Actor Will Arnett delivers the voiceover for GMC’s fourth-place commercial while Steam’s “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” plays in the background. The ’19 Sierra has a six-function MultiPro Tailgate which, GMC suggests, will make jaws drop.

Toyota rounds out the ranking with a commercial for the ’19 RAV4 showing how one couple makes the most of their time together (with some help from their Toyota).
