A report on online news portal Sohu said that park personnel quickly rushed to the women's aide, but were too late to save one of them.
Meanwhile, the injured woman is recovering from her wounds in hospital, it added.
The man and a small child, who was also in the car, were both uninjured.
Chinanews.com said that the park has been ordered to close for "rectification".
The park allows visitors to drive their own cars, safari style, through an open space where the animals roam free.
Visitors are cautioned not to leave their vehicles.
There was no mention of the incident on the park's web page or social media account. A post on its microblog said that it was closed due to heavy rains.
The park has had at least one previous tiger attack, Sohu said, noting that a security guard was mauled to death in August 2014.
