The main feature of the AMV is its [[modular design]], which allows the incorporation of different turrets, weapons, [[sensor]]s, or communications systems on the same carriage. Designs exist for different APC vehicles ([[armoured personnel carrier]]) and IFV versions ([[infantry fighting vehicle]]), communications versions, ambulances and different fire support versions, armed with large caliber [[mortar (weapon)|mortar]] and [[gun]] systems. The vehicle has a very good level of [[land mine|mine]] protection and can withstand explosions of up to {{convert|10|kg|lb}} [[trinitrotoluene|TNT]]. The Lagarto has protection levels up to 30 mm APFSDS frontal arc. Another important feature is the very good mobility (combining speed, agility, and crew comfort) in rough terrain, enabled by the sophisticated but rugged [[hydropneumatic suspension]] adjusting each wheel individually. | The main feature of the AMV is its [[modular design]], which allows the incorporation of different turrets, weapons, [[sensor]]s, or communications systems on the same carriage.
