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.

“I asked my mother for fifty cents
To see the elephant jump the fence.
He jumped so high he reached the sky,
And didn’t get back till the Fourth of July.”
