Leclerc Evolution is a French prototype of the enhanced fourth-generation main battle tank (MBT) developed and manufactured by the KNDS France.

The project was presented during the Eurosatory 2024.[1] The tank is equipped with a turret armed with the ASCALON (Autoloaded and SCALable Outperforming guN) gun, capable of firing 120 or 140 mm shells, an ARX30 turret, a PASEO sight coupled with a 7.62 mm machine gun, a "Trophy" active protection system and the ability to use remotely operated ammunition.[1] According to BFM TV, Leclerc Evolution will be operational in 2030 and KNDS France is said to be in discussions with several countries.[1] KNDS France explained that the Leclerc Evolution is not intended to compete with the latest versions of Leopard 2 or future joint offerings (EMBT ADT140). The idea is to offer it in markets where the Leopard is not considered the appropriate solution.[1]
