My 2022 Fabia has the virtual cockpit.  One of the display options has "kW"  at the bottom left of the display.  What does this mean ?

KiloWatts, the same as usual.

This is an engine 'power gauge'.

 

This video relates to the Virtual Cockpit and 2.56 minutes into the presentation the kW gauge is mentioned and its function demonstrated

Altering in the gauge from kW to a different unit (PS, BHP, etc) was asked about here in 2022 

 

but, as the gauge just shows a snap-shot representation of how much power the motor is producing, there's no real value in having ANOTHER multiple-choice option embedded in the Skoda software.

The "power" gauge could be useful for many just to show how low the power is needed often to keep the car going and reduce the slavery ego figures.

What are "slavery ego figures"?

The need to go to 11 (Spinal Tap Marshall amp skit).

ETA: my mistake

In future, I'll use Newspeak for my BRISKODA postings. Then, if I refer to the ease of using a Fabia Mk 4's air-con system as extraplusungood, even doubleplusunsmart persons will immediately understand what I mean.

Communicate how you want when you want.

 

Don't worry, it's a misunderstanding on my part.
