Automobile door hinged at its opposite side rather than the front
the song by Lil Uzi Vert

A suicide door is an automobile door hinged at its rear rather than the front. Such doors were originally used on horse drawn carriages, but are rarely found on modern vehicles, primarily because they are less safe than a front hinged door. Being rear hinged, if the vehicle was moving and the door opened, aerodynamic drag would force the door open, and the driver/passenger would have to lean forward and out of the vehicle to close it. As seat belts were not in common use at that time, the risk of falling out of the car and into traffic was high, hence the name "suicide door" Another reason could have been that while a door was open on a city street, a speeding car moving in the same direction as the parked car could rip a front hinged door off the parked car but someone in side the adjacent seat, even if moving to leave the car, could not get scratched. However, with a suicide door, someone inside or partially outside the passenger compartment would get struck by the suicide door forcefully swinging back to a shut position due to the impact of the speeding car. Initially standard on many models, later they became popularized in the custom car trade. Automobile manufacturers call the doors coach doors (Rolls Royce and Lincoln), freestyle doors (Mazda), The French, hand made Facel Vega Excellence offered a four door hardtop with a Chrysler sourced Hemi V8 beginning in 1954.

In 2003, the new Rolls Royce Phantom car reintroduced independent rear hinged doors in luxury vehicle applications. Other luxury models with rear hinged doors include the Spyker D8 and the Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe four seat convertible. The most recent mass produced model with such doors may be the Opel Meriva, followed by the Rolls Royce Cullinan in 2018, and a few Chinese electric vehicles including the Singulato iS6 in 2018 and HiPhi X in 2020. Lincoln announced that 80 limited edition 2019 Continentals would be made with "coach" doors, marking the Continental's 80th anniversary. The 2020 Citroen Ami electric vehicle is unusual in having a suicide door for the driver but a conventional door for the passenger, as the doors are identical units that are not differentiated by side. In the early 2000s, rear hinged rear doors that are held closed by the front doors, and cannot be opened until released by opening the front door on the same side (hinged at the front), have appeared on a number of vehicles. Such doors may be referred to as clamshell doors. Examples include extended cab pickup trucks, the Saturn SC, Saturn Ion Quad Coupe, Honda Element, Toyota FJ Cruiser, BMW i3, Mini Cooper Clubman, Mazda RX 8, Mazda MX 30

Rear passenger rear hinged doors had long been used on Austin FX4 London taxis, discontinued on their successors the TX1, TXII and TX4, but reintroduced in the 2018 LEVC TX. Several concept cars have featured rear hinged doors, such as the Lincoln C, a hatchback with no B pillar and rear hinged doors at the rear, or the Carbon Motors Corporation E7, a police car with rear rear hinged doors designed to aid officers getting handcuffed passengers in and out of the back seat. The Kia Naimo, an electric concept car, also has rear suicide doors. Other car manufacturers which have produced models with suicide doors include Citroën, Lancia, Opel, Panhard, Rover, Saab, Saturn, Škoda, Studebaker, Ferrari, Mazda and Volkswagen.

Rear hinged doors make entering and exiting a vehicle easier, allowing a passenger to enter by turning to sit and exit by stepping forward and out. This is important for passengers who need to make a dignified entrance; the UK State Bentley has rear opening passenger doors that are broader than usual and open very wide, allowing the monarch to exit the car in a dignified way. In combination with traditional front doors, rear hinged doors allow chauffeurs easier access to the rear door. In Austin FX4 taxis, drivers were able to reach the rear exterior door handle through the driver's window without getting out of the vehicle. Rear hinged doors also allow a better position for a person installing a child seat into the back seat of a vehicle than conventional doors, while being simpler and cheaper to build than the sliding doors commonly used on minivans. The Opel Meriva B compact MPV introduced in 2010 had such doors. The combination of front hinged front doors and rear hinged rear doors allows for a design without the B pillar, creating a large opening for entering and exiting the vehicle.
