Looks like they started dropping touchscreens in 2019: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1121372_why-mazda-is-purging-touchscreens-from-its-vehicles https://

  Also, along with dropping the touchscreens, they've gone on a hard bent towards keeping the "driving only" information on physically separate displays from the "infotainment" part. Pure vehicle operation stuff is always straight ahead for the driver, while navigation and music is always on a separate screen a little to the right.

  That's interesting. My car (2019MY) must be a transition model because I have the 7-way controller in the center console, but the screen can still be touched.

    Ars Technica's 2019 Mazda 3 review also notes that the control dial now only spins and clicks, no more pushing it up/down/left/right. That must have been the first model to get the changes.
