How is it a Corolla (for example) can have a version that is SUV, Sedan, and Hatchback? What would make those versions similar enough to share a name? Why aren’t they different enough to need seperate names?

I think you are mistaken, the SUV is a Rav4, not a corolla. The rav4 is a totally different vehicle.

The sedan, hatchback and station wagon versions of the corolla are all basically the same car, but with a different rear portion. There’s no reason to use a different name becayse it’s basically the same vehicle with a differently shaped back. They formerly called the hatchback corolla a “Toyota Matrix,” but it was still basically just a corolla with a different trunk, so they just call it a corolla hatchback now. Lots of compact cars from numerous manufacturers have sedan and hatchback/wagon versions of the same car with the same name. There’s no reason to have a different name, when it’s the same car, with a different hatch on the back.

The rav4 is a totally different vehicle, it is the small SUV.
