Is there a more general word than "type" or "kind" or "style" that fits these sentences?

You can say

  • "low sodium is a variety of soy sauce"
  • "hatchback is a car model"
  • "extra-strength is a dosage form of Tylenol"
  • "rechargeable is a category of flashlight"
  • "steel-toe is a type of boot".

But I can't think of any single word - other than type or kind - that fits all your sentences perfectly.
