Thermoplastic resin composition, molded article, method of manufacturing molded article, and exterior material for vehicle

Provided is a thermoplastic resin composition, a molded article of which has an excellent appearance, scratch resistance, weather resistance and heat resistance. The thermoplastic resin composition comprises an acrylic resin (A) and an anti-scratching agent (B), wherein the acrylic resin (A) includes a resin (A1) having 80 mass% or more of a repeating unit derived from methyl acrylate; and the anti-scratching agent (B) includes a component (B2), which is a copolymer of ethylene and at least one vinyl monomer but is neither an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer rubber nor an ethylene/α-olefin/non-conjugated diene copolymer rubber, and a component (B3), which is a higher fatty acid amide, and further includes a component (B1), which is an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer rubber or an ethylene/α-olefin/non-conjugated diene copolymer rubber, and a component (B4), which is a graft copolymer.
