 After the first batch of Leopard 1s, the next three batches were of an improved model, called the Leopard 1A1. The 1A1 model added a stabilizer for the gun, developed by Cadillac Gage. Additionally, a thermal sleeve was added to the gun to prevent overheating, and side skirts were added to the sides of the tank, in order to provide more protection for the tracks. The rubber blocks fitted with two-pins on the tracks  was changed to a one-pin track style.

 The first 232 tanks of the fifth batch were Leopard 1A2s. The Leopard 1A2 had an up-armored turret, so they never received the Blohm and Voss armor upgrades, but they were upgraded similarly to the Leopard 1A1 tanks.

 The last 110 vehicles of the fifth batch were of the Leopard 1A3 model. The 1A3 model was fitted with a new turret. The armor consisted of two steel plates with a plastic filling in-between them, and the mantlet was of a wedge shape. The commander received an improved TRP 2A independent sight.

 The sixth batch of 250 tanks consisted of the Leopard 1A4 variant. The 1A4 version featured a new computerized fire control system (FCS) and an EMES 12A1 sighting system. The commander received a new PERI R12 independent night sighting system. The ammunition load was reduced to 55 rounds, 42 of which were stored to the left of the driver.

 '''Leopard 1 "Verbeterd"'''
 The Netherlands improved on the Leopard 1 model and simply called it the ''Leopard 1 {{Annotation|Verbeterd|Improved}}'', which is currently in service with the Chilean Army. The ''Leopard 1 Verbeterd'' is thought to be equivalent to the German Leopard 1A5.

+==== Leopard 1A6 ====
 The Leopard 1A6 was a project to equip the Rheinmetall 120mm L/44 gun on a Leopard 1. It used a Leopard 1A1A1 hull but with an up-armored turret, with the 120 mm gun instead of the previous 105 mm gun. The project was cancelled in 1987 before the design entered production; the Leopard 2 had already entered service and the Leopard 1A6 was not a large enough improvement over the 1A5 to be worth the cost.
