The fourth-generation Subaru Forester was launched in Japan since November 13, 2012 and it will be available only in 2.0L engine, in naturally aspirated and turbo guise. Naturally aspirated versions, FB20, will be mated with either a 6-speed manual or a Lineartronic CVT while the turbocharged version, known as the FA20 DIT, lifted from the Subaru Legacy, will be mated exclusively with a Lineartronic CVT.
The new Forester incorporates the new AWD control system "X-MODE", which was developed for the driving on uneven or slippery road condition. Engine, Transmission and VDC are controlled cooperatively.

Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or generation:
“We are playing with fire when we skip the years of three, four, and five to hurry children into being age six.... Every child has a right to his fifth year of life, his fourth year, his third year. He has a right to live each year with joy and self-fulfillment. No one should ever claim the power to make a child mortgage his today for the sake of tomorrow.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“It is a sort of ranger service. Arnold’s expedition is a daily experience with these settlers. They can prove that they were out at almost any time; and I think that all the first generation of them deserve a pension more than any that went to the Mexican war.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
