The driver of the Golf, a man in his 20s or 30s, was unhurt.
The collision happened at about 7.40pm on New Year's Eve.
"We had to remove the Saxo's roof," said watch manager Simon Wilson, at Ivybridge fire station. "It took about 15 to 20 minutes.
"One lady, in the front, was removed quite quickly. Two were more injured than the other two."
He added: "It happened in quite an open road, the junction where you can turn from Ermington, a single carriageway."
A South West Ambulance Service spokesman confirmed that four people had been taken to Derriford Hospital.
