[[File:AMR-33-Saumur.00043xt0.jpg|right|thumb|The AMR 33 at Saumur]]
The AMR 33 was a very small vehicle, {{convert|3.5|m|ftin|0|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|1.64|m|ftin|0|abbr=on}} wide and {{convert|1.73|m|ftin|0|abbr=on}} tall. It weighed only 5.5 metric tonnes; the unloaded weight of the hull 4.5 tonnes. The eight-cylinder 84&nbsp;hp 4241&nbsp;cc [[Renault Nervasport]]<ref>{{harvnb|Jeudy|1997|p=149}}</ref> 24 CV engine allowed for an official maximum speed of {{convert|54|km/h|abbr=on}} – the Renault export brochure claimed {{convert|60|km/h|abbr=on}} and an off-road speed of {{convert|45|km/h|abbr=on}}. A Cleveland differential was used; there were four forward and one reverse gears. A fuel tank of {{convert|128|L|impgal|abbr=on}} allowed for a range of 200&nbsp;km. The tracks were 22 centimetres wide. It had a wading capacity of sixty centimetres; could cross a trench {{convert|1.4|m|ftin|abbr=on}} wide, or climb a {{convert|45|cm|in|abbr=on}} vertical obstacle or a 50% slope.<ref>{{harvnb|Touzin|1979|p=49}}</ref>

The (riveted) armour of all vertical plates was 13&nbsp;mm, of all inclined plates 9&nbsp;mm, of the top 6&nbsp;mm and of the bottom 5&nbsp;mm. There was a crew of two: the driver to the left next to the engine and the tank commander/gunner behind him in the turret which was armed with a 7.5&nbsp;mm [[Reibel machine gun]]. There was also a reserve machine gun that could be optionally placed on a pedestal on top of the turret for defence against aircraft. The vehicle carried 2250 7.5&nbsp;mm rounds.<ref>{{harvnb|Vauvillier|2013|p=71}}</ref> The original proposal had foreseen the use of a special expensive Schneider turret; the prototypes had a very high octagonal Renault turret at the very back of the hull. This proved to be too awkward and was replaced on the series vehicles by a flatter design from the army ''Atelier de Vincennes'', the AVIS-1, which was moved about a foot to the front to improve visibility. The AVIS was produced by Renault and had, unusually for a French tank turret of the thirties, a hatch in the top for observation. The normal access to the tank was by means of large double hatch at the back of the hull.
