McConaughey Revs Up Star Power for Lincoln – Again

In the No.1 spot for the week of Jan. 6, actor Matthew McConaughey enjoys the quiet solitude of ice fishing from the toasty comfort of his ’20 Aviator.

Matthew McConaughey is back on top, this time in an ad for the ’20 Lincoln Aviator that was iSpot.tv’s most-watched car commercial – collecting the most impressions across national broadcast and cable TV airings.

The No.1 spot for the week of Jan. 6 is a Lincoln commercial devoid of any speaking or narration. In it, McConaughey enjoys the quiet solitude of ice fishing from the toasty comfort of his ’20 Aviator.

The Oscar-winning actor was featured in top-ranked commercials for the Lincoln Nautilus and Aviator in 2019.

Mazda takes second place in the latest ranking, introducing the “first-ever” CX-30 with a cinematic spot showing how a couple realizes their dream of opening a restaurant with some help from their vehicle.

The No. 3 ad, from Hyundai, features dogs of all types, as the automaker declares that “no matter what size adventure you’re into, it’s better in a Hyundai.”

The fourth-place commercial, from Land Rover, stars world champion skier Mikaela Shiffrin. Undeterred by a road closure, she carves her own path up a snowy mountain in her Land Rover. This spot has the best iSpot Attention Index (117) in the ranking, getting 17% fewer interruptions than the average auto ad (interruptions include changing the channel, pulling up the guide, fast-forwarding or turning off the TV).

Subaru rounds out the ranking with an ad showing how the Ascent’s EyeSight with Pre-Collision Braking safety feature helps a family narrowly escape tragedy on the road.
