Kling AI recently launched their Kling 2.0 AI video generation model and the results are absolutely insane. It features improved motion, animation, and video quality.
We tested the tool and here are our main findings.
In this post, we'll show you what Kling 2.0 can create and the differences between the 1.6 and the 2.0 versions. So you can decide if it's worth it for you.
Let's get started.
What Can You Create with Kling 2.0?
With Kling 2.0, you can create high-quality animated videos with more natural and fluid movements, and significantly improved realistic motion physics. It has a better handling of complex scenes and movements. You can use it to create videos from images or from text prompts.
Here is a cool video example generated using Kling 2.0:
Kling 2.0 vs. Kling 1.6
Kling 2.0 is a significant improvement over the 1.6 version. Let's compare the two versions.
Quality
Overall, you'll get significantly better video quality with Kling 2.0.
The latest version features smooth transitions and lifelike details, making the animation look more natural and realistic. In contrast, Kling 1.6 animations are often jerky and lack the visual appeal you'll get with Kling 2.0.
Here are some tests we ran to illustrate the difference in quality.
The first surfing scene test, Kling 1.6 produced basic wave-riding animations that were acceptable but lacked sophistication. In contrast, Kling 2.0 delivered remarkably improved results with more realistic surfing movements, natural transitions, and convincing water physics that made the scene appear more authentic.

Our second test was a cyberpunk police car chasing scene. While Kling 1.6 generated slower, less dynamic movement of vehicles through the cityscape, Kling 2.0 created significantly more dynamic action sequences.

Perhaps the most striking difference was observed in the last test, a horse riding scene. Kling 1.6 produced basic, somewhat unrealistic movements that appeared mechanical and unsuitable for professional use.
However, Kling 2.0 demonstrated impressive capabilities by generating natural horse galloping motions, complete with realistic rider movement and enhanced background elements.

Video Length
With Kling 2.0, you can create videos up to 30 seconds long. While Kling 1.6 limits you to 10-second clips.
Cost
To create a five-second clip with Kling 2.0, you'll need 100 credits. That's five times more than what you need for a five-second Kling 1.6 video (20 credits).
And if you want to make a 10-second video, it will cost you 200 credits with Kling 2.0. While you'll need 40 credits to create a 1.6 version video of the same length.
And you also need to factor in the time you'll spend waiting for your videos to generate.
For example, we spent around 15 to 20 minutes waiting for each Kling 2.0 video to generate.
That's why you should carefully plan each video and prepare your prompts to minimize credit use and time waste.
Final Words
Is Kling 2.0 worth it? Let’s do a quick recap:
- It produces high-quality visuals
- The cost to create videos with Kling 2.0 is relatively high
- Videos can take up to 20 minutes to render
The cost and time investment can make Kling 2.0 seem expensive. But overall, Kling 2.0 is a very impressive AI video generation tool with excellent results.
