Mercedes-Benz will introduce at least one new body style when its 2015 C-Class debuts at the 2014 Geneva Auto Show.

Based on the new Mercedes Rear Drive Architecture, the brand new C-Class will arrive at dealerships towards the middle of 2014 in sedan, wagon, coupe, and five-door hatchback options.

"It is aimed at those markets, like the United Kingdom and Australia, that enjoy taut-feeling athletic cars," one insider said last week during the 2013 Frankfurt Auto Show, according Edmunds.

The automaker is aiming to go up against the BMW 3 Series GranTurismo, though experts have said the five-door option will be the "sportiest" of the mainstream C-Class options until the coupe is made available 2015, according to Edmunds.

The C-Class will have a wheelbase of 112 inches, and will be 4 inches longer than the current C-Class sedan, and should stretch out over 185 inches.

"This interior will be something special," one Mercedes-Benz insider insisted. "It has better materials and technology in the interior than the outgoing S-Class and the connectivity is light-years ahead," the source claimed.

Other features confirmed for the C-Class includes an air suspension, new architecture, and LED headlights.

The Geneva Auto Show is set to take place this March.
