RAR perceived type = Unspecified?

I couldn't find any way to make RAR's perceived type "Compressed" like ZIP
If perceived types are hard-coded data, can we add 7-Zip, RAR files as Compressed too?

Are you talking about what the "Type" column displays?

That is a column, that displays what the shell returns. This has nothing to do with XYplorer!
To change / add file extensions, edit the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes
If there is no key for ".rar", create one
Than add a new string value called "PerceivedType"
and give it the value "Compressed".
Restart XYplorer to let it see the changed value for your files
