A door assembly for a vehicle can include a door panel having a front edge and a rear edge pivotably attached along a hinge axis to a frame assembly of the vehicle. The hinge axis can be angled away from a vertical direction of the vehicle at an acute angle. A hinge can be disposed at the rear edge of the door panel. The door panel can be configured to pivot about the hinge axis between an opened position and a closed position. A strut can be connected to the door panel and movable between an extended position and a retracted position. A net can be attached to the door panel and can be in tension when the door panel is in the closed position and can be in a less tensioned more curved configuration when the door panel is in the opened position.
