In terms of mobility, the Leopard 2A7V is motorized by an MTU Mb 873 ka 501, turbocharged diesel engine developing 1,500 hp and despite its weight, the tank can reach a top road speed of 70 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 450 km
With the hull add-on armor, the Leopard 2A7V’s frontal hull is claimed to reach the same protection level as the frontal turret, i.e. being protected against most types of modern anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), large caliber KE penetrators and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs). The internal armor arrays in hull and turret have been replaced with a more modern solution. Mostly as result of the improved protection, the combat weight of the tank has reached 66.5 metric tons (73.3 short tons). The chassis is rated for MLC 76, i.e. 68.9 metric tons, though the hull itself is supposedly qualified for a gross vehicle weight of up to 70 metric tons.
