An air handling system of a vehicle comprises a housing defining an inlet section. The inlet section includes a first inlet portion and a second inlet portion. The first inlet portion includes a first recirculation inlet configured to receive recirculated air originating from a passenger compartment of the vehicle and a first ambient air inlet configured to receive ambient air originating from an ambient environment. The second inlet portion includes a second recirculation inlet configured to receive recirculated air originating from the passenger compartment of the vehicle and a second ambient air inlet configured to receive the ambient air originating from the ambient environment. A first air distribution door and a first baffle door are disposed in the inlet section to selectively control a distribution of the recirculated air and the ambient air entering the first inlet portion. A second air distribution door and a second baffle door are disposed in the inlet section to selectively control a distribution of the recirculated air and the ambient air entering the second inlet portion.
