What will I replace my Peugeot with for €15,000?

I'm looking to trade in my 2012 Peugeot 308 Active HDi (with 242,000km on the odometer) for a newer medium-sized used car and don't know if I should be looking at a diesel, petrol or a hybrid car.

Reliability, efficiency and easy maintenance are my key concerns. I travel mostly rural roads and do a short daily commute (50km per day round trip in low density traffic). I sometimes take longer trips but rarely use motorways. My annual mileage is roughly 20,000km. My budget including trade in would be in the region of €14-€15,000.

Does the Macan S have a proper Porsche engine?

I used to have a diesel Porsche Macan, which I later learned was powered by a Volkswagen engine and I had loads of trouble with it.

I currently have an aging Panamera Turbo with a proper Porsche engine which has been faultless and I am thinking of changing.

Is the 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine in the Macan S a Porsche development?
