I'm not sure what you mean, so I'll talk generally about the Bolt EV: it's hard to categorize.

It's not marketed as a luxe vehicle like the Tesla; it doesn't have the same performance as the high end Teslas.

It's more expensive than seemingly comparable vehicles, until you try to find a vehicle to compare it to.

It's quicker than most (nearly all) compact cars and crossovers.

It doesn't have the ground clearance to be regarded as a Crossover/SUV, but it is too tall to be considered a hatchback. While being a tall vehicle, it has a low center of gravity due to the battery being very low and heavy.

It is a small car, but it is heavy, again due to the battery.

All in all, this car will have to make it's own market, because there really is nothing exactly like it.

(disclaimer again, I do work for GM)
