You can pick a slightly used 2014-2015 gs model with 20000-50000km for like $16k or a 2017 gs model with 10000 to 20000km for just under $20k which is a pretty good deal. Brand new it's $24.5k plus tax, freight etc...
Only thing though, no GPS, That's reserved pretty much for the top end model, but you can just buy an aftermarket and stick it to the dash.

I have a base model Mazda3 w/GPS. To add GPS to any Mazda3, you just need to buy $100 SD card from Ebay with maps. Every Mazda3 has the same head unit.
Mazda is a smaller volume manufacturer. It must have been cheaper for them to use the same ICE unit for every trim than have a separate one with GPS.
