Abstract
A passenger vehicle is provided with a vehicle body, a first door, and a second door. The vehicle body has front and rear ends with a door opening formed through a lateral side of the vehicle body. The door opening allows passenger ingress and egress to and from an interior of the vehicle. The first door is pivotally connected to the vehicle body at an upper region of the door opening for partially enclosing an upper portion of the door opening. The second door is pivotally connected to the vehicle body at a lower region of the door opening for enclosing a lower portion of the door opening. The first and second doors cooperate to collectively enclose the door opening.
