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 30mm 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 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 stems from an investigation, made by the Pealxian Army HQ in 1995, on different armored vehicle concepts for an all branches modular vehicle platform. In 1996, SND Vehicles began to develop different concept vehicles, and found the 8×8 one to be most suitable as a replacement for their 6×6 Urutu, BMR Pegaso and [[Bryn APC]]. | The Lagarto stems from an investigation, made by the Pealxian Army HQ in 1995, on different armored vehicle concepts for an all branches modular vehicle platform.

[[File:VMP YON PLUS JPG.jpeg|thumb|VMP YON showcased at a military exposition]] | The SND VMP PLUS is a newer, improved and more capable experimental version of the MVP, which is currently one of the best armored personnel carriers in the world. The "PLUS" stands for Plus Payload, Protection and Performance. This armored vehicle was first publicly revealed in 2025. The PLUS has a maximum combat weigh of 30 t. It is heavier than the standard Lagarto, which is already one of the heaviest and most protected armored personnel carrier in the world. The PLUS has a payload capacity of 13 t. It can be configured to carry even heavier armor packages, weapons and other mission kits than the original Lagarto. | ||
