- This vehicle was developed as an evolution of the previous Crusader and Centaur vehicles, and its main feature was the newly developed Meteor engine.

- It increased the mobility of cruiser tanks, which were already becoming larger and more armored.
- The original Cromwell was equipped with a British 6-pounder gun, but the Cromwell Mk.IV was equipped with a 36.5 calibre 75mm tank gun as its main gun, increasing its anti-tank capability and power.
