The Leopard 2A7+ was first shown to the public during the Eurosatory 2010, featuring the label "Developed by KMW - tested and qualified by the German Ministry of Defence". The Leopard 2A7+ has been tested by the Bundeswehr under the name UrbOp (urban operations).

The Leopard 2A7+ is designed to operate both in low-intensity and high-intensity conflicts.[288] The tank's protection has been increased by modular armor. The frontal protection has been improved with a dual kit on the turret and hull front, while 360 degree protection against RPGs and mine protection increase the survivability of the tank in urban operations. The modular armor's system components were first used by Canada in Afghanistan. It can fire programmable High Explosive munitions. The turret-mounted MG3 has been replaced with a stabilized FLW 200 remotely controlled weapon station. Mobility, sustainability, and situational awareness have also been improved.

In December 2018, Hungary ordered forty-four 2A7+s (subvariant 2A7HU), making them the second operator of the improved version, after Qatar.

Historical Account: "Lucky Seven" - The Leopard 2A7 is a modernized version of the Leopard 2A6 main battle tank. The main features of this new upgrade of the Leopard 2 tank include a new armor, an energy system, crew compartment cooling system, and new weapon engagement system. The Leopard 2A7 is fundamentally different from the KMW variant 2A7+ and is not optimized for combat in urban terrain. The first tanks were delivered to the German army in December 2014. A total of 14 vehicles were produced for Tank Battalion 203, plus four more going to the Armoured Corps Training Centre and one vehicle at the Technical School for Land Systems and School for Technology of the Army. On May 2017, German and the Company Kraus-Maffei Wegmann signed a contract to upgrade the 20 existing Leopard 2A7s into the Leopard 2A7V variant.
