When it comes to car commercials, there’s a wide range of music—stylish, cool tracks you’d hear in sedan or sports car ads, and fun, upbeat songs for family-oriented cars!

First, we’ll introduce particularly popular tracks regardless of manufacturer, and then list them by brand.

From signature hits by popular artists to covers of timeless classics, car commercials feature a variety of songs, so take this opportunity to give them a careful listen.

Honda (1–10)

HONDA STEP WGN e:HEV Commercial: “The Family From Now On” (30 seconds)

“Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” makes you want to break into a light, bouncy step.

It’s a well-known Beatles number, and I’m sure many people recognize it as soon as they hear it! For Honda’s commercial, it’s covered by Orono, the vocalist of SUPERORGANISM, a multinational pop-rock band active in London, UK.

The poppy melody and vocals—blending nostalgia with freshness—make it a perfect track for family drives! The Beatles’ original version has a different vibe and is wonderful too, so I recommend listening to both!

HONDA N-BOX CUSTOM “Combining Spaciousness and Performance” Edition

The LocomotionLittle Eva

[N-BOX CUSTOM] TV Commercial (Web Version) “Harmony of Spaciousness and Performance” 15s Revised BLACK STYLE (2025 No. 1)

This commercial showcases the Honda N-BOX CUSTOM’s strong commitment to uncompromising spaciousness and performance, including its dynamic driving presence.

The relaxed seating positions of the occupants convey the comfort afforded by the roomy interior, while the shifting scenery clearly expresses stable driving in any situation.

Further emphasizing the powerful, forward-driving energy of the visuals is a cover of Little Eva’s “The Loco-Motion.” The song, strongly associated with vehicles and arranged with a forceful beat, conveys a reassuring sense of strength and the feeling that you can drive on endlessly.

HONDA ZR-V “SUVs are made to run.” (Run, SUV!)

Fear for NobodyMåneskin

[ZR-V] TV Commercial (Web Version) 'SUVs are made to run.'

This commercial showcases the ZR-V’s outstanding driving performance, featuring footage of the ZE-V actually running on a racetrack.

It’s an ad that directly counters the notion that “SUVs don’t drive all that well.” The background music is “Fear for Nobody” by the Italian rock band Måneskin—a cool track that suits the overall calm tone of the visuals.

The song is included on their debut album, “Il ballo della vita,” released in 2018.

Suzuki (1–10)

SUZUKI Alto Works

Are You Gonna Go My WayLenny Kravitz

[Suzuki Alto Works CM] - Kei Car Edition 2015 -

It’s one of the signature songs by popular guitarist and singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz, also known in Japanese as “A Dash for Freedom.” It was used in commercials for the ever-popular Alto Works, which has long enjoyed a devoted following.

The track’s distinctive guitar riff and full-on rock vibe perfectly match the sporty image of the Alto Works.

Although it was released in 1993, many people—including younger generations—have probably heard it.

That’s because, in addition to the Alto Works ads, it was also featured in commercials for Nissan and Wilkinson.

SUZUKI Hustler 'Hustler World: To the Place You Long For' Version

That’s The Way A Woman IsThe Messengers

Hustler TV Commercial: 'Hustler World – To the Place We Long For'

This commercial for Suzuki’s compact SUV, the Hustler, expresses the excitement of being able to go anywhere.

It depicts, in an animated style, the Hustler dashing through the charming world of a picture book.

The BGM features an original arrangement of The Messengers’ “That’s The Way A Woman Is.” Even if you don’t recognize the title, many of you have probably heard this song.

Fronx TV commercial “Breathing Wild” edition

The commercial “Breathing Wild” for Suzuki’s crossover SUV, the Fronx, which began sales in Japan in October 2024.

Using footage of wolves, horses, birds, and more, it highlights a refined appeal that ties into the ad’s title.

The background music is an arranged version of Erik Satie’s 1900 chanson masterpiece “Je te veux.” With its striking, noble-sounding melody, it’s a tune many people recognize even if they don’t know the title.

The title is pronounced “Juh tuh vuh” in French.

SUZUKI FRONX “An option to bring beauty to SUVs.”

Je te veuxÉric Alfred Leslie Satie

FRONX TV commercial: “FRONX — adding beauty as a choice to SUVs.”

A commercial that introduces the appeal of the Fronx’s design from the perspective of a furniture craftsman.

Alongside narration about how the combination of straight and curved lines creates a beautiful design, the Fronx’s exterior is shown extensively.

It’s a striking ad that matches the tagline, “An option for beauty in an SUV.” The familiar background music is Erik Satie’s “Je te veux.” Many people might recognize the tune without knowing its title.
