Engine & transmission is the same across all models, permanent 4x4 with centre diff lock. It just trim and interior accessories that varied. Someone more knowledgable than me can fill you in on the trim levels, but I think there were only three excluding any special editions. Base model, County and XS. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

My 2014 110 XS Utility came with half leather seats, ABS, traction control, electric windows, boost alloy wheels, air conditioning, heated seats, heated screen, not sure if the steering wheel was different against the standard (leather bound and stitched on mine). I think the latter models had a switch to turn the traction control on/off, and the head lining turned charcoal coloured, but mine doesn't and the headlining is cream.
Might of missed something. Hope that helps  |

Kid, trim level denomination in continental Europe differed from the U.K.
Belgium was the same as here in Switzerland. I took some pictures of the Swiss price list for 2014, model year 2015, which will be a copy of what you guys had in Belgium at the time. Hope helps, if you need more, let me know as I have hard copies of about all model year brochures and price lists for the last 6/7 years.

Thank you all, in particular Eric for the effort!
 
This is a really good start. I wasn't expecting much differences in trim in between the UK and other countries seen the Defender being more of a niche model. Learned something already  |

Hi,
Can I ask, why do you want to change a JK Rubicon for a 90? Or are you keeping the Wrangler and also getting a 90? I have recently been struggling to decide on making a swap the other way! In my case, change a 110 for a JL Unlimited. I have driven the 285 HP, V6 JK and the 270 HP 2.0 Turbo JL, both with automatic transmission. This really ruined any enjoyment I had previously got from driving a 122 HP diesel engined Defender! None of the Defenders have axle diff locks as standard, they are only available as aftermarket accessories. Some will have Electronic Traction Control, but it is not as good if you really need diff locks. Your passengers will really appreciate the comfort and space in the Jeep, you will too if you do long distances. But it is a tough decision to make. |

Sure you can
I not yet made my mind up for good - the one day I feel like "I want a Defender", the other day my mind leans towards a Wrangler again. Both are similar in construction, though also quite different. I sold my JK to buy an other car, but that for sure was not my best decision... 
I had the 2.8 diesel, with a little tune increased to 500nm of torque (and 230hp), and that was more than enough, in particular for off-roading. The short Wrangler is less specious in the back as a two-seater than a 90, much of its width being its plastic fenders. The Rubicon has both a front and rear lockable diff, and is in basis a rear wheel drive, which can be quite fun 
Comfort wise, indeed the Jeep is a step up compared to a Defender (personal opinion), more spacious for both driver and front passenger, good seats, better ergonomics, and in particular now, a bit closer to nowadays standards, though at the same time still quite basic. For sure I do not have any particular reason as to why NOT to buy an other Wrangler, it is just that I much like the Defender too. Both the Wrangler and Defender are the kind of cars you'd love to go loose on with your wrenches, and make it suit to your needs, whether that be overlanding, or more hard-core off-roading. |

"Both are similar in construction, though also quite different"
- I agree. Both are also very capable 4x4's that got the basic design right. The ideal answer is to have one of each!
Good luck with finding a Defender, if you decide to get one. |

I've got a 2.4 puma Defender USW 2011 and a 2002 4.0 Sahara TJ Wrangler.
Both are very capable vehicles. The Wrangler is more fun - but then my old Series II and III were great fun as well 
Back to the original question - most things on a Defender can be altered/upgraded. Generally a low spec well cared for defender is a better buy than an XS that has been infrequently serviced by a non specialist. Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right. |
