The WOW was built with a low center of gravity, giving it a more stable driving experience. This low center of gravity, along with the addition of wood-paneled floors, aims to make dogs to feel more comfortable in the WOW. It also sports a state-of-the-art instrument panel featuring a lid that reveals a crate to carry smaller dogs. It also includes average ventilation and a center walk-through, allowing dogs to walk around the car.

The Design Cues have been continued in Honda Freed which came out in 2008.
