Subaru Japan is gearing for the launch of the 5th generation Forester. An order-stop has apparently been programmed for dealers on March for the current 4th gen. The new model will ride on the Subaru Global Platform (SGP) with conflicting reports regarding engine choices: FB20D; FB16DIT & FA20DIT; and transmissions; 6 M/T & CVT.
Also in the rumor mill is a hybrid model using technology licensed from Toyota. It will incorporate a combusion engine to power the front wheels with an eAWD system driving the rear wheels by an electric motor.
It's design will be derived from the Viziv Future Concept shown at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show with Subaru's Eyesight safety assistance system becoming standard equipment.
