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:
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
—Bible: Hebrew Exodus, 20:8-11.
The fourth commandment.
“I’m afraid for all those who’ll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines.... What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
