Piaggio Beverly 400 2027: New TFT and a fresh look

The Beverly has been part of the Piaggio line-up since 2001. According to the manufacturer, more than half a million units have been sold in over 50 countries since then. The recipe combines large wheels with the comfort and performance of a GT scooter. For 2027, Piaggio is developing this approach further, making changes in several areas: the visible details as well as the controls and the luggage options.

When it comes to the engine, the choice remains between two displacement classes: Piaggio quotes 27.7 hp for the 310 hpe and 36 hp for the 400 hpe, which is the focus here. Both engines are available as Beverly and Beverly S. According to the press kit, the S version differs in its colours and finishes. Choosing between the two versions therefore mainly means choosing a different look. The manufacturer continues to position the range as a crossover between an agile large-wheel scooter and a comfortable GT scooter.

At the front, the full-LED headlights and front LED indicators now sit in black surrounds. The characteristic 'tie' on the leg shield has also been redesigned. On top of that come wheels with a sportier design, which Piaggio says are lighter than before. The reduced mass is intended to improve handling.

The cockpit gains a 6.88-inch colour TFT. Piaggio promises better readability in sunlight and darkness, supported by a light sensor. The display shows information for everyday riding and touring and is ready for smartphone connectivity. On the Beverly 400 and Beverly 400 S, the Piaggio MIA multimedia platform is standard. It also enables pictogram navigation on the new screen. Turn-by-turn directions can thus be displayed directly in the instrument panel. The cockpit therefore takes on more tasks than simply showing riding data.

The new rear grab handle integrates the top case mount, so no additional mounting plate is required. According to Piaggio, the electrically released seat still offers room for a full-face helmet underneath, and it can also be opened via the supplied remote control. The central tunnel houses the motorcycle-like frame and the tank, which can be filled without getting off. Add to that keyless ignition and a USB-C socket in the glovebox of the leg shield. One of the two top cases on offer is also keyless. On the 310, a clear wind deflector also becomes standard, while a tinted deflector and a tall windscreen are available as accessories.

The regular Beverly comes in Bianco Luna and Grigio Grafite. Piaggio pairs these with a dark brown seat and a matching glovebox in the leg shield. The central tunnel cover, top case mount, wheels and exhaust end cap feature satin grey finishes. The Beverly S is available in Nero Meteora, Grigio Mercurio, Blu Lapis and Verde Minerale. Here, the seat and inner leg shield are black, while the rear grab handle, central tunnel cover and wheels are finished in gloss black. Blue details round off the sportier finish. The two versions thus rely on clearly distinguishable colour and finish combinations.

What changes on the Beverly for 2027? Piaggio revises the front end, introduces lighter wheels and a 6.88-inch colour TFT, and integrates the top case mount into the rear grab handle.

Is Piaggio MIA standard on the Beverly 400? Yes, both the Beverly 400 and the Beverly 400 S come with the multimedia platform, including pictogram navigation, as standard.

How do the Beverly and Beverly S differ? According to Piaggio, the differences lie in colours and finishes. The S relies on black components and blue details.
